New Pike Lake for me to Fly Fish
Checked out a new to me lake. I am always looking for a small lake with now power boat nonsense to fly fish for pike. Because of the lake and not because of fishing I will return in spring.
Anton’s Lake Manitoba Parkland’s Still Water Trout
Sure the lakes can be considered spring and fall fisheries. Sure you can call them glorified aquariums with the aerators and all but damn the finishing can be fun when it is hot!

MacArthur Falls Fly Fishing For Big Mooneye
I knew the mooneye run was on by the guys using a net near the dam’s out flow. Then I caught one.
Newfoundland Round Up
So we spent a month in Canada’s most Eastern province. I Have combined all the fly fishing related stuff into one blog post
First off is my First Fish from the salt water a “Conner”
Next is a video of me catching a mackerel on the fly!
Then Just a bunch of brown trout from either the Waterford River in Downtown St. John’s NL or Rennie’s MIll from the north part of St John’s

The New Max Catch $100 2 weight in Action
I keep fishing this tiny brook trout stream with my 4wt and my home built 2 weight. But I wanted a smaller travel rod so I order a 2wt direct from China. I got it for this stream and for my up coming trip to Newfoundland.
Lyon’s Lake Manitoba Still Water Fly Fishing
I have really put in my time in on this lake 1½ hours eat of Winnipeg. Over the years it has been everything from a numbers verses size lake to a size and numbers lake to a dead lake to a multi trout species lake. This day had me catching a few middling rainbow trout on my 4wt with one 22″+ brown trout!
It was also the debut of my new Fish Cat Scout. A Pontoon belly boat hybrid
Once More to the Breach
I seem to be using ½ my fishing time going after wild brookies.
There are worse things
Don’t ask where because I will not tell
Fairford River Freeze Off
The annual event got a break from the regulations this year because the general season now extends to the end of the public school break. So, instead of haveing to be the last Sunday of March it can be the last Sunday of March break. In this case the 3rd of April. So the temperatures where down right balmy
Fall on the Whiteshell RIver
I have a bit of a tradition that I keep. The last day trout season in Manitoba (at least for rivers) is the last day of October. The closest trout stream is the Whiteshell river. Sometimes I go before that. Fall is great ther because the fish have been stocked and acclimated and start acting like trout before they move to the lake or get predated upon or killed over winter or whatever happens to them so as there are no fish in the river in spring
