fish_finder Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Made our annual trip into the bush for opener. As usual we avoided the steelhead crowds and headed for thick cover and feisty browns. Road to nowhere.... Camp made....time for beer! Bruce County beef cooked the way it should be... Morning comes pretty early. The night was relatively warm at about 5 degrees, we kept the fire stoked all night for added warmth. We're up around 7 gearing up. Lots of water in the river and we're all pretty pumped to start the season. Justin pulls his trusty 5wt out of hiding only to find this...... He was stuck using his 9 foot steelhead rod for the day...not fun on this creek... Needless to say, he wasn't going to let a busted rod stop him from fishing. The rest of the weekend was perfect. Aside from the bright sun in the afternoons putting a lot of the fish down, we managed a few and had a great time. Nothing huge, but plenty of feisty fish to keep us busy. Largest fish was around 16" that flipped me the bird at my feet before I could capture him and put him in my camera. Merry Fishmas y'all!! I'm back up there tonight through sunday. Should be prime dry fly time now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Everything my opening days would be in a perfect world Dave, less the broken rod of course. Thanks for sharing, I'm still gaga over the stream, trying to recall if I waded it myself decades back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
