Skunked

The first of three days of fishing was the only time Master Steve and I landed fish.

A low pressure system moved in and that's my excuse for not hauling in dinner out of some good lakes. The fish were there but not attacking the tackle.

Here's a few notes from 'Backroads: A Guide to Day Trips in the Parry Sound Area' for my future fishing reference...

Large Northern Pike are most often caught when the water is cool, during spring and fall. At these times, fish 10 - 20 kgs. are common. In the spring, pike are fished in 1 to 2 metres of water, often using light tackle and live bait. In early summer, they are fished over weedbeds, with heavy line and live bait, or trolled for along the edges of shoals. In the fall, pike fishermen troll or use live bait.

Until next time, fishies!
