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.

Long weekend troutin'

Post by Nyarlathotep »

Hit a stocked trout lake near Madawaska and Whitney during the long weekend, with good results. On Saturday my fishing partner and I canoed to “rainy island” and caught our limit of splake (stocked 2017, average weight about 1 lb each) casting from shore using a ¼ oz. rainbow trout colour Little Cleo and a 3/8 oz. 320 pattern EGB, both tipped with bits of cut minnow (apologies for the gratuitous splake-murder photo). The cooler than normal temperature and rain was a bonus in that it kept the blackflies away. The only downside to the trip was the piles of garbage left here and there on the lake’s shore by other anglers (I don’t understand these people).
