Wilderness Brook Trout by Canoe 

It was great meeting you guys! I Hope everybody is doing well. Cheers

Great name!

Thanks Yeetus! Stay tuned, because there's more to come.

Thank you very much!

Glad you enjoyed it. Northern Ontario is spectacular.

Thank you!

Nah you can’t do that anymore, you get lit up on the inter webs. Lol

Stop Spotburning, that is a fact. There's never been as much scrutiny over C n R than there currently is. We will continue to try our best to show and promote proper handling of our fish.

Wing- Peacock sabre Underbelly- Either yellow squirrel or palmered yellow hackle. (That's the preference) Tag- Red sadle Body- Silver mylar Rib- Silver tinsel Enjoy.

@@robertheal261 Hi Robert, what size hook would this usually be tied on?

Fred, 6 to 2. I just posted pictures on my FB page if you would like to take a look.

What's your take on the Rodgers situation right now?

Yes it is

They were both 6wts, and for the dry flies, I used 4X tippet. The streamer fishing was all done with a type 3 sink tip and about 3ft of straight, 12lb floro tippet.

Dress for all types of weather! It turns on a dime. As far as rods, reels and lines, 6 to 8wts with lines from type 3 sink, intermediate and floating.

Not a concern at all. They are around, though we didn't see any on this trip.

We were there the last week of August.

Joe's Panther.

@@robertheal261 wrong

That’s what he called it but I can’t find it anywhere so I would agree that’s probably not what it’s called looks like peacock herl on top maybe some silver tinsel around shank and yellow buck tail on the bottom? I too would like to know at least what is on the shank im curious to try it

​@PROCOTRDOCTOR123 how am I wrong on this?

You're right! Like many, I have not been to New Zealand.

Yeah what was your biggest brook trout over there?

We used a canoe to get from run to run. Fishing from a canoe in a small river like that doesn't make much sense.

In general you're right....but they're not always on the bottom. It depends upon water conditions, light conditions and more importantly, where the food is. I've caught walleye on dry flies when big Hex where emerging and also on mice patterns on the surface near dark. But, in general, you do catch them on bottom BUT not always. thanks for your feedback

Patrick, the entire focus of the trip there was to catch Brook Trout and Rob planned accordingly. However, weather and even water levels changed the game/plan numerous times before he even flew up. To make matters worse, Rob learned upon arrival one of the guides had his brother die back in Thunder Bay and most of the staff are family friends, so they all left for the funeral. They literally did not have a guides available who knew the waterways for the trout until the last day. ....so I guess he could have tried to envision this might happen, but given situation he did the best he could. For the future, sure he will plan for worst case scenario. This coming summer Rob is doing a show in Labrador....where he is also fishing for big Brook Trout....but there is also Pike there. I'm sure he will plan for both

I still got the job done and that's the point.
