kickingfrog Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Very nice. They don't all come that big... at least mine don't, but they're all trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopster Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 What a beautiful fish. Well done. Brought back fun memories of fishing for brookies in Nova Scotia many years ago in streams 3-4 feet wide. That was back in the day when you could follow a stream along its bank even if it crossed private property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I love those fish. If you're releasing them consider pinching the barbs, makes the release much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 35 years ago. Sometimes you just know that they are the one, when you say lets go catch some trout today. I think my secret creek near Cow Bay is probably a subdivision drainage ditch by now.

PGnewflyfisher Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Great - well done! They are so pretty and colourful. I'm sure you enjoyed the experience. Caught my first one last year and have been trying to find more locations withing an hours drive from me - not an easy task even with Google maps. Got hooked on fly fishing (barbless hooks always) which adds to the enjoyment and frustration that goes along with it despite my seniors years. Its a long drive to the Grand River, but my next challenge is to catch something larger in the trout species without getting too intimidated.

Rizzo Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 wow what a beauty! I only ever went after brookies once and the fish I caught were the size of a middle finger, nothing like that one! Truly gorgeous fish though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Back when,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I lived in Brampton, late 70,s early 80,s, there were some great places to catch them. It was nothing to just stop at streams on hwy 10 and I would get them. Grand Valley was a great spot. I would walk miles and fish that area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I agree---one of our greatest species we have I thought so---so much that when we built I had a pond dug and stocked it with them and some bows Was one of the greatest things I ever "had" Had as much fun feedin them as catchin them--but alas----predators and fluctuating water levels put me outta the game Great tho while it lasted---this was them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
