Haliburton May 2 Four Fishing/ exploring report

[chris.brock]

My wife was working Friday, I had it off, perfect chance to search for brookies and splake. A quick look over the maps and I was on my way.

 

Plan A- only 300m down the access road, a washout, they got the culvert in but hadn't back filled it yet. That was the end of Plan A

 

 

Plan B- about 4km in, another road closed

 

 

I pressed my luck, and tried anyways. There was some nasty areas and my 2 wheel drive was at risk of getting stuck

 

 

finally made it to the lake, it felt good to be in the canoe again and on the portages

 

 

no fish caught, but a great day, I had a shower that morning and was eaten alive by the blackflies all day, even on the water

 

 

Cam, Mac, Carston and me went searching out back lakes for future trips once bass season opens

 

 

here's shorelunch without the shore

 

 

I think we'll make the trip back here in a few weeks, it looked awesome

 

 

shorelunch with the shore this time

 

 

heading back, getting home well after dark, Carston has a great retro mullet, his next haircut for the summer will be an Apache

 

 

some other pics from the weekend

 

this is from Gull Lk, the flood has the lake littered with all kinds of debris, docks and chairs washed up everywhere

 

 

Mike (Solopaddler) Borger may recognize this place

 

 

not my most interesting report, thanks for checking it out

Great weekend. Mine was quite similar. I love ripping thru the gnarly stuff with two wheel drive. With good a/t's and low gear I can work my way thru some nasty old trails

Similar weekend to mine, only I have 4wd still didn't have much luck with the fish. Tried 2 separate rainbow lakes. My son hooked a couple on the first lake, but lost them, and we only had one bite on the second. The trout seemed to be off for some reason. Couldn't ask for better weather, or better company though! How were the bugs over your way? We had lots of blackflies, but they were mostly just buzzing.
