Any size to them?
I know how bad you've been itching to get a little trout fishing in, glad you got out. How were you fishing them? Brooks or Lakes? Sinners? Trolling or casting? I really miss the brook trout fishing back on the east coast.
Hey Marcus, they averaged about pound. Just a great eating size. We were nailing them for the most part on West River Suttons, they're paper thin flasher/spoons if you're not familiar with them.
A little disaapointed the Bows weren't around. We did hear of 2 being caught by other members of our club the previous week. Just have to try again I guess

Up on Lake Sandal near Maniwaki crazy, we're the only cottage on it...great lake mainly because we do stock it with Specks and Bows....

Good catch..is Barbut the local name for bullhead catfish? Because we do have Ling or Burbot in the waters as well..
Yes Salmon you are correct. That comes from years of fishing with my dad for what we always referred to as Barbot, not Burbot which is a Ling as you know. We differentiated them from cats by calling them that. Likely due to dear ole Dad not wanting to freak us out with the name "Ling" I guess

Welcome back from what sounds like a great 1st getaway for the season.
You deserved some fun and action after slaving away on the bathroom project. No lightening incidents, eh?
When I go to Gananoque Lk. next week, I hope I can report something exciting, too. If I get a third of what you caught, I'll be really excited.

PS: glad ya let the little bully go. Just look at those big, brown eyes!
Thanks Wolfe, it was a lot of fun to get away. Hope you have a great trip
My American buddy who comes up to catch the opening of Wally season has already hit Bob's and Wolfe Lakes. Says the catching was tough
Usually never has a problem
