Thank you Fossil Fish, opener was quite eventful. Was trying to get a decent fish for all three species of trout in the river, kept the day even more interesting. Searched high and low, but could not find a Brown Trout. Can't complain though, six nice Steelhead and three decent Brookies including my personal best. Trout Slam will have to wait for next year I guess ...

I think my new Ontario entries are through for the year, anything could happen though, it's fishing.

So this seems like a good time ... as promised, these are my DISQUALIFIED Quebec entries from the year (denoted with an X), just for fun ... makes me feel like I'm still in the race as I hope to cross a few more off this year. Just to add these were mostly within one hour of the border and the fishing was GREAT if you all are ever looking for a small adventure and some new spots. Here we go!

Man, you get around! Nice fish, love the drum, tench, and all the rest. I have been wanting to fish that spot in Laval for while but never seem to have the time... I need to make a point of dropping by next may/june.
