S.M.05 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Every summer I think is gonna be less busy than the last.......... and every summer I'm wrong. A day off a week has been welcome, at one point it was 4 weeks straight without a day off between work and other jobs. I did sneak away for a fish any chance I got though, even if it was just for an evening walleye or brown trout fish and I seemed to have done all right. Here's a bunch o pics of my summer. The family of Cooper's Hawks returned this spring. First trout in the new square back. A quick trip got me into a new P.Best inland brown. A couple of evening trips for eyes. Campfire Sweet Chilli Thai wings. Mmmmmmmm. Overnight trip for bows. Had a weekend to explore and got into to a back lake full of these laker imitators. Caught 7 and missed another 5 by noon before the storms rolled in. While talking with this fella over a chipmunk dinner he mentioned an elusive trout. ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!! Looks like the fall is here along with a weeks worth of well needed vacation. Fall Spec Fall splake Hope you enjoyed.

Can u please clarify on the chipmunk dinner? Haha. 6 trout species. At first I thought it had hurt its wings, then I realized he was crushing his meal for a couple mins before he dug in. Couldnt tell what he was snacking on till I got too close and he flew away holding the chipmunk. Oh well one less tree rat Edited October 14, 2011 by Selfmade05

Ok, I got the impression it was you guys eating the chipmunks... I have only tried squirrel. Haha
Ron Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Every summer I think is gonna be less busy than the last.......... Hope you enjoyed. Yes, I think I can speak for everyone on this post... WE ALL ENJOYED! Seems like you found yourself a little piece of Heaven. All these species found relatively close to you? Cheers, Ron...
d_paluch Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 amazing report what beautiful fish/scenery. I have never targeted or for that matter, caught a trout before. They sure are gorgeous creatures
msp Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Looks like you really love your trout fishing. Congrats on an amazing season. We appreciate your report and pictures. Thanks for sharing.
TerryC Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 That is some beautiful country your fishing! Your a lucky man to have those fishing spots at your disposal Congrats on a great summer. I look forward to your fall fishing post. Thanks, Clarence
fishermccann Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Those were great, you live a wonderful life. Thanks for showing us.
Moosebunk Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Much nicer seeing some of those pics off the camera screen and blown up big here. NEVER can I remember, ANYONE posting about 6 trout species all caught within a summer. That aurora takes the cake Mike just because, but man... that brown, that splake... You never fail to impress each year with your Grandslam 5 trout reports... but this year with 6 ya hit it out of the park then rounded two more bases for a double. WarCanoe... lakers... hopefully soon.
Joey Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Wow, you're great with a camera, some amazing shots there. Beautiful fish you caught!!! Looks like it was a great summer for you.
S.M.05 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Posted October 16, 2011 Glad everyone enjoyed these as much as I did. Ron all of those trout species are within a few hours of home except for the Aurora trout. Bunk a trip in the war canoe would be ultra cool. Just pick a Sunday or Monday Even with these 25-30km winds, rain and a wicked cold keeping me away from the lakes for the last half of my vacation I managed 2 solid days of fantastic fall spec fishn.
Leecher Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 Excellent report, fish and pics Selfmade05 Great recap of your 2011 summer.... congrats Thanks for taking the time to post and share with us!!! Leechman
