Strip, Strip, Pause, Strip BOOM!


Man that was fun! headed up north after school to fly fish for some Brook Trout! Strip, Strip, Pause, Strip, BOOM! All night long.. Was so much fun, and to be honest, my first ever Brook Trout outing! Those little Brook Trout put the Streamside Tranquility to work tonight! That was a BLAST! headed out to my local river tomorrow with some friends from Quebec in search of some more Lake Ontario Tributary Steelhead! Can't wait,

2015 Steelhead Opener Was a Cold One..



I still have the chills from opening night.. Me and a couple of my buddies packed our bags and were down at the river for 6PM. Water was a lot better than I thought from the big rain we got last week, and I was super pumped about that! We got down there, set up our tents, filmed some clips, ate some soup and grilled some hotdogs over the fire! before we new it, it was dark, the temps went down to -2 and it was freeeeeeezin! So cold that the warmest spot to sleep was right beside the fire. I didn't even end up using my tent, as I literally slept in the dirt beside the fire we had going just like last years opener. Half way through the night the fire went out and I could barely sleep for the rest of the morning, But once the sun came up saturday morning, it was go time! Steelhead opener 2015 baby! It was awesome! We got a bunch of cool footage that I will be putting together for an edit shortly. Fishing was great, weather was great, and we all had an absolute blast! Can't wait to get back out tomorrow and all week long after school!
I hope everyone had an awesome, memorable 2015 steelhead opener!

Fishing with Cole and Dan!


My buddy Cole came down from Innisfill, Ontario for the night and we hit the rivers for first light! The morning bite was super slow, but once the sun came up, the water warmed up a few degrees and I hooked my first fish around 10. Hit another creek, got one more, and went back to where we originally started, and grinded out one more fish before I had to go home for easter dinner... Man I can't wait for opener.. Woooohoooo!

It Has Begun!


Well, It has Begun! My first Steelhead of the 2015 season and i'm pumped! Went down to the river right after school, The water was muddy, but noone was there and the bite was ON! Within the first couple of drifs I had already hooked up! Was non stop all night. I lost a bunch of fish, but ended up beaching 2 before I had to head home! Was throwing a Great Lakes Steelhead Co. Yellow bead under my float and this girl swallowed it! Love it!
