Dutch01 Posted March 11, 2018 Report Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) What a day! I've quickly forgotten the early end to my ice season. Got out on a lake O trib today and managed two beauty fish (both released). No point trying to black out the background, you either know this spot or you don't. Cheers!

Dutch01 Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks guys. It's been twenty years since I fished the rivers. I forgot how much fun it can be. I'll be going back this week.
misfish Posted March 11, 2018 Report Posted March 11, 2018 My son has been full force on the tribs and doing very well. Keeps sending pics. I told him when the ice season is done, I,ll join him. Trout for him, white fish for me. Both happy happy. Very nice fish.

Where I shore fish for perch in spring (Simcoe) they are always closed.

PUMP KNOWS Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Nice Dutch. The second fish looks like it's spawned out?

MJL Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 I had a lot of great memories fishing that stretch as a kid during March break. I wiped out on that muddy path so many times – mud, ice and felt soles do not mix.LOL It’s been a good while since I last fished there. Can’t imagine what the crowds are like now. They were horrible even 20yrs ago. But at least a few times a year, you’d see a rainbow over 20lbs get caught. It might be time to finally break out the float gear for a drift or two. Great fish!

Thanks! We were lucky, it wasn't very busy. I don't think it will stay like that for long though.
Dutch01 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Posted March 15, 2018 Booked a day off work today hoping to avoid the weekend crowds on the river and it paid off. Only the one fish today but it was a great way to spend a morning. About a million times better than going to the office!
GBW Posted March 15, 2018 Report Posted March 15, 2018 Damn man, and here I thought you were the walleye whisperer...

I don't know about whisperer lol! I do love me some walleye. We're made for each other, we both like to stay up late. Not gonna lie though, that rainbow could out pull a stringer full of walleye in a tug of war! ??? Edited March 15, 2018 by Dutch01

ccmtcanada Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 It’s been a while since I fished there, but I do miss it! A few solid fish there for sure!
Old Ironmaker Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Dem right der are some beauty fishes. And I know exactly where you are. Pretty well any Lake Ontario tributary. It is not a well know spot though. That fact is confirmed by the lack of Tim Hortoncups.
