Spring is in the Air, just not in the Water

Left Pittsburgh on Friday, 58 degrees, sunny, not a cloud. Weekend in Southern Ontario, hovering just above freezing, windy, but sunny. First weekend of spring and in Canada I needed to wet a line. Andrea and I went out for a hour or so with Jeff to a branch of the Holland River, which runs north through the fertile Holland Marsh and into Lake Simcoe. Not all the beer funnels in Keswick can hold us back from a few hours of fishing!


Not the swift river system I'm used to in Western PA.
We were a few weeks early for when the crappies start feeding. Water temps were below 40*.

Just a total Rebel


My Catch of the Day. A floating cattail, 24"

I'll surely try again in the summer for pike and bass on the fly!
Happy Spring!
