Ajax, Ontario

My best Smallmouth yet!

Nice lil Rock Bass this morning.

It was a wet and wild🌧 opener today with the weather. Manged a couple on the fly but roe was the ticket and finding those undercut banks made the difference.💯🔥🎣

Conditions were tough this morning. -1°C, 30km SW winds, snow/sleet/rain and my fingertips were frozen. No one in sight. First cast at the spot I hooked a big1, took a big run with a few head shakes and it came off. 🥹 nothing after that. Switched spots and I got a nice bow on the second cast and it put up a good fight😃 After a few miss hits my indicator got burried. This fish had some good weight, it took a few runs with barrell head shakes and it felt different. Long and behold the unicorn of lake ontario tributaries..😍 this one is my second to date but its an exception because it was beat up and spawned out. Its also rare in this creek.. This is why i love fly fishing in brutall conditions!🫡🎣🥷🌨

Snow came early this year

Solo mission after school today. Caught the first steelie of the year. Big boy didn’t fit in my net 🤣
