danc Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Just home form a great few days on the lake with family and friends. Like most fishing trips, it could have been better or it could have been worse. Like most of the country, it's been hot hot hot up here as well and finding suitable water temps for Brookies was nearly impossible. Between 3 boats we landed about 20 Brook Trout for the weekend. Biggest was a 24" girthy male that probably went 6 lbs. Unfortunately it wasn't caught in my boat and I don't have pics of that one. Here's a couple of my best fish for the weekend. 20" and 21 1/2". The 21 1/2" fish was spitting up smelts like crazy at boatside during the fight. Check out the photo section for some scenery shots from the weekend as well.
Musky or Specks Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Awesome Dan I'm jealous haven't been up to fish the Nip now in 4 yrs. Gotta get back.
mercman Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Those are nice healthy looking fish Dan Beautiful colors. Nice boat too,looks very comfortable to fish out of.
BillM Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Awesome fish Dan! Let's hope those temps drop over the next couple of weeks.
Guidofisherman Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Great to see you got out for some brookies. Nice looking fish. Looks like the one you didn't catch last year....ha...ha. Hope to see you guys up there later this month. Let me know. Alan

Joey Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Great to see a report from you Dan. So glad you had a chance to get away for awhile and enjoy the fishing a family. Some really nice fish there
ccmtcanada Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Beauty fish! I've never caught brookies before...gotta get out for them some time soon!
Rod Caster Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Picture perfect fish. Brookies that size are hard or maybe impossible to come by in our area anymore.
Cookslav Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Beauties Dan, Love those big water polka dots I am counting the days to my next Specky adventure....and there are WAY to many days
solopaddler Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Nice fish Dan! One day I'll make it up there.
kennyman Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 OMG !!!!! THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL !!! I've yet to catch my first brookie. Thanks for the inspiration.
Roy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Really nice fish, Dan. What an impressive fishery.
Moosebunk Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 You work so much through your summers Dan, it's great when you get that chance outing and it pays off. As always, to fish fish like the specks is what we work for.
danc Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks for the comments all. With any luck I'll have a few bigger and more colorful specimens to post in another month or so.
Ron Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Nice stuff Dan. Perhaps I will mosey on up with Keith on the long weekend in Sept. Hey, you never know, I might even bring my locksmith gear with me so we don't have to climb in through windows! Cheers, Ron...

If anything, I'm planning a trip the week after labor day weekend. I just started a new job with a new company so I don't know if I can swing the time off so early. With any luck I'll get to taste one of your world famous ceasars sometime late this summer one way or another. Cheers Bud.
