3 bodies of Southern Canadian water... one freggin' perch

Visited the Great North this past weekend for a farewell party for Jeff as he heads to the Canadian Armed Forces in October.

Early morning on Sturgeon Lake hunting smallies...

No smallies, just one perch that hit a perch x-rap about its same size.

Soulja Boy?

Then over to Innisfil Beach, Ontario for the party. While waiting for the party to start, we walked over to Lake Simcoe to check it out. Super clear water, no fish.

Casting Shadows

Had a nice party... A local hatch was coming off.

Got up way later than expected on Sunday morning, didnt get into the river until 1pm. Walked a long way on a sore foot... Had one hit an egg sucking leech and take off upstream into a fallen tree, snap. One hit an epoxy egg, took off 20 yards downstream and around a bend and snap. Fell off a 6 foot undercut bank when it gave through on a soft spot. would have paid to catch that on video. Left foot/ankle got stuck so I was danglin there for a bit before i fell the full way down. luckily a tree below broke my fall and I didnt land in the water with the new St. Croix 9 weight. Only saw about 6 in about 2.5 hours. Foreign dudes had one on a rope at that big hole where i parked. only saw two upstream. seems most fish were doing the nasty and not interested in my offerings.
