Finally... the small stream I fish for brookies hit the magical temp and the fish would start to feed more willingly! I made it out for a few hours before work today because the weather was beautiful! A very nice place to spend a day, a true gem hidden in Southern Ontario!

 

I spent most of my time fishing a small stretch of the stream that is much wider than the rest of the stream. Usually It is no more than a couple feet wide, but this corner is about 10 feet wide or so!

Mepps and worms did the trick today. Fished for about 2 hours and managed to bring in about a dozen, missing many more. All fish were released to swim and grow another day. This picture shows about the average size of today's catch.... still dreaming of breaking the 10" mark on this stream!

Next up I am hoping to get on a larger stream for trout where I can get out the fly rod, not sure whereabouts yet though!

Beautiful fish. Brookies are my go to everytime I get some time to fish. Although ive been finding a lot of rainbows in some of my spots this year. Good fun getting both species in tge same stretch of water!

Nice work! 

A fly rod could make for a frustrating time in woods that thick. Hahahaha. Bring a lot of flies ;-)

Isn't it so nice when we can find some of the most fragile of things in the most unexpected areas. Take good care of your hidden creek dude, this warms my heart.
