Solo fish

The trout season in Quebec is wrapping up quick so I figured I would try and make the best of the last couple weeks we have left to fish them. The plans are to fish some new water for speckles, also giving a few other lakes a go that have been good to me. Thursday night made a quick dash out fishing my favorite walleye hole. It's a hit and miss spot and usually produces some nice fish when you hit them! On this night only 3 walleyes were caught, all dinks for me except for a nice fat 19'' my neighbor landed on a Yamamoto grub anf jig head. We normally just jig them here.
This little fella joined us for dinner
Next morning I was fishing by 6:30. My last trip out a big brookie came darting from underneath of a downed birtch tree after my offering...then pulled a complete 180 when it seen the boat. Had me shakin'. Must have been close to 2-3lbs..a decent fish. I tried fishing shallow structure early in the morning without a bite.
Moved out to deeper water and caught two little seedlings in a couple hours and that was it. Both were caught on a slow crawl in 15-20FOW and were released to be caught again next year
On my way out I couldn't help myself to a quick pit stop at a small ruisseau for a couple minutes. Katch Moore and I were out fishing here a few weeks earlier when he was in town and we really got into them. He landed the biggest creek brookie I've seen!
First cast...wham..second cast wham......third....
Packed in the trout gear and headed home. Would have stayed on the lake longer for a night bite but had to get things prepped for the Mississip derby the following day. Still hoping to get into my first QC laker this year before the season ends, I have what some would call the lake trout curse this season
