This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Busted Roads, Barely Busted Lakes and a Busted Ankle...

Post by Walleye'm Fishing »

Most of the trout lakes up in the Quebec mountains where I was yesterday morning were still un-fishable due to ice. As usual, lots of springtime road washouts were everywhere too :angry-banghead:

So this turned into a short and painful shore outing where we fished in small open water sections. As I was descending to one of the lakes that we checked out, I slipped and landed awkwardly, injuring my foot/ankle in the process. That was it for me, and I began the slow and painful limp all the way back to my vehicle. I'm still waiting on the results from the x-rays and hopefully there is no break. :handgestures-fingerscrossed:

On the bright side, we managed a couple of brookies from shore including a nice 16 incher that I landed. We were tossing small Cleos and Atomic Teasers. I'll probably give it another week or so before heading back up there...

That's some "extreme" angling right there.

Nice to make the best of the conditions you had.

Hope the foot mends quickly For ya!

It's all about the adventure.
Looks like it would have been a good time - the slip

Sprains can be just as bad as a break. Take it easy until you can tightrope walk those rocky parts.

Great story and beauty pics. Hope you get more before fly season.
