My first trip to Grand Lake Stream was incredible!!! Caught 2-3 landlocked salmon per day over 3 days, along with some of the largest bass I’ve ever caught. Had a great first trip with two fishing buddies that will be unforgettable. Can’t wait for next year to make it an annual tradition.

Crazy story about this guy. I was fishing my local harbour after work today on a mission to find the infamous whitby harbour pike. Metal leaders, spoons, spinner baits, you name it all stocked up before driving to the spot. I was switching between bottom fishing and using lures. I figured it Doesn't hurt to catch a cat for fun, while trying to get a pike to bite. I'm trying different retrieves, fast slow, letting it hit bottom, stop and go. I cast out let it hit bottom, steady retrieve and boom a little steelhead.(Or Atlantic still not sure) Honestly not the biggest but definitely the most unexpected 😁

Had some fun with the fly rod today and landed a new species (on fly)! Got two little Atlantic Salmon, a Brown Trout, and tons of Fallfish on my 3 weight. I also managed to hook into a really nice salmon, but he unfortunately came off after a short battle.
