Rod Caster Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) UPDATE: I took a break from making ATV trails (so close to the river now!) and decided to throw a few spinners. The water was down and the fish were in shallow current. This is the biggest spec I've caught in this river, and maybe my 3rd or 4th biggest ever. The fight was incredible in 1.5 feet of water in high current, just like fighting a small rainbow in the shallow creeks. Estimated at 15 to 16". Released. He (?) sat in a quiet pool for about 8 minutes before swimming away... I really hope he makes it...he was not deep hooked. Can you find the hidden brookie?? I haven't posted much lately due to silly computer issues... but I always liked sharing pictures of the trout I catch off my own property and the random things I do, so here we go. First attempt this year; not much luck and the water was very cold! The lawn finally turned a healthy green. My new ride as well. Spagetti monster! Almost a year old now Twice in two weeks. I played vet the first time, the second time he got it much worse. I assume his thoughts are in the range of " I'LL GET THAT PORCUPINE NEXT TIME" Thinning the forest and cutting stovewood. A big ol' maple way past prime Yesterday! I walked down the hill, through the thickets to the river that runs through my property to chase a meal. The fishing was slow as it's still a bit early, but the one pool was loaded with big specks. Average size was 10 to 12" with a solid 13" coming in at the end. The photos kind of suck because these iPhones have cameras that don't know how to focus properly. We went for an evening walk later in the day and enjoyed some brews and a sunset. Enjoying some homemade maple syrup...yuummmm That's all for now! Chad Edited June 22, 2015 by Rod Caster

manitoubass2 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 Wow Chad great property! Feel bad for the pup, ouch!
Beavertail Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 Looks like you are living the dream out there, IMO anyway. What a great place to grow up for little ones too...I would have given my eye teeth for that when I was a kid!
chris.brock Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 Lookin' good up there Chad. Hopefully the dog doesn't try that again.
Rod Caster Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks all! We love living here. It's a lot of work, but very rewarding. That darn dog better not try that again. We got him for free, but the vet bills are adding up.
Rod Caster Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Posted May 25, 2015 I only took one video and it was bad lighting...and I was swore loudly when you turned your tail to me hahaha.
Moosebunk Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Your posts are always treat man! You've got something special going on in your backyard. Enjoy!

Nipfisher Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Nice post buddy. Almost a year old already.....man time flies.
Freshtrax Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Love it, I head up your way almost every year down a dirt road of hwy 63. Heck we spent our honeymoon up there. Hopefully I hit that lottomax this weekend
Rod Caster Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Posted May 26, 2015 Freshtrax, that's cool you spent your honeymoon up here. We may camp off one of those dirt roads for this years anniversary. Let me know if you ever need a stop-over and bonfire and beer before one of your camping trips.
fishnsled Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 That is a great haven you have up there Chad, very cool! Thanks for the post!
NAW Posted May 27, 2015 Report Posted May 27, 2015 I'm glad your living the bush life to it's fullest! I'm jealous!
chris.brock Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 I would guess a she. Good update/ report for us guys living in the concrete jungle down here, keep them coming.
Sterling Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Long shot, but does the name of this river end with an O?
Acountdeleted Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Oh man. Chad you had a little slice of Heaven there bud. I am soooooo envious.
Musky or Specks Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Long shot, but does the name of this river end with an O? No!
Musky or Specks Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Beauty fish Chad. I knew there would be some in there that size. Easiest way to find them id lowest water possible in Temp range of 60-70 degrees. Then they'll stack up in the first deep pocket in the thauwag to take advantage of the high oxygen content and conveyor belt of food.
