Fish-Hawk.Net

well i've been fishing out in Calabogie (town west of ottawa) twice a week for 6 years now. so i've come to know the place very well and have fished a good majority of the stocked lakes back in the bush.

Like i said before i love TROUT fishin! and fishing out of a stream is probably the most exciting. well i finaly found a stream after years of searching/fishing. this stream has rainbows and browns. I've done alot of brook trout fishing up in quebec. But near Ottawa, no way i say! well like i said i found one!

I first got out to the stream and started to cast and drift. caught a couple suckers. noticed alot of big small mouth in this pool, so i decided to bush whack a bit more and found a nicer pool with fast flowing water and a seconde stream that was COLDER then ICE that empties into it.

First drift, BANG!!! FISH ON!! this one has a bit of weight i say to my brother. after a good minute without seeing it's face, i see a good flash, HOLY CRAP it's a Rainbow!! i land the bow, a 15 inch beast!! I look over to my brother and smile!! we found a trout stream with big BOWs in it!! I've been looking for this for the past 6 years!!!

so we continue to fish and we caught more bows, smallest was 12 inches, and the biggest 15. and we also caught a couple brown trout! smallest 10 inches and the biggest was 13 inches.

sorry no pics, but i'm definitly going back with the fly rod, man it was exciting!!!

That is awsome to hear!
Trouting is phenomenal when you have a good spot!
I fish them in England when I visit family. I am looking forward to my Calabogie tour in a few weeks myself!

Well said ...........



Good reading,, theres nothing like a trout '' Honey Hole ''

Atta go KM...persistency pays off for sure...I remember finding my little stream with brookies in it after years of searching for the ones no-one knows about except it seems that one guy with summer teeth who always knows where they are

Ahhh, so that's what you have been up too. Glad to hear you finally found your stream. When it comes to trout you always seem to on top of things I have a couple days off this week..

Brookies Lakers Rainbows You get what I am saying...

Give me a shout~

Hmmmm....sounds like an interesting mystery the MNR could shed some light on. Since brookies are the only native trout, the bows and browns must have been stocked, yet there is no evidence that any rivers up in the Calabogie region have been stocked with bows and only two bodies of water are stocked with browns.

Most likely done by a private citizen.

We once looked at a house as a potential hunt camp out by Poland area.
The guy said he was stocking them in the area.

I`ve been told they are in the stream by my hunt camp. I`ve yet to see one!

Good job Matt Putting time in finding fish always pays off

Funny you said that Todd cause I was thinking the same thing but did not want to give too much info on a certain area this would be in...Now you have spoiled it ...Just kidding but I do know the general area but how many fricken streams are in that area....maybe 1000 or more ...But again only a few lakes with those mix of fish...enough said now off to find this little slice of heaven

Ahhh yes but when you plot the lakes/rivers they don't match up so the stocking list still leaves you SOL!

They don't match up??? Well that is no good then... so you do need to find that one guy with summer teeth and ask him where it is then Or just take KM out fishing for the day

a day of fishing with me involves no conversations, only a hand full of jokes, and about 10 metres of personal space. interested anybody??

just kiddn'!! if anybody wants to get out for trout that knows the area shoot me a pm. maybe we could meet up for some sunday morning trout!!!

Hey Matt, those were some dandys we landed tonight! Man was I ever drained when I got home. Good luck 2morrow...Doing some trout hunting this weekend. Il let you know how we do...talk to ya soon.
