Early Fall Season Steelie

Last night I went to bed early with the intention of sleeping in on my day off, being that the rivers are a little low for fishing. But being a creature of habit and an early riser for work, as usual I was automatically wide awake at 5 a.m. Lying there, I thought, what the hell, I am up, I might as well head out and test the new Vision fly rod my friend  Brad from Soo North fly shop sent me.

That ended up being the right decision. I had a good test on the rod landing about a 5 pound steelhead. I have to say that my initial impression of this rod, very positive. When I get a few more pictures and more run time, I'll do a complete review, but its looking good.

 

Not being quite as organized this morning I had to dig into my waiters to retrieve my Go Pro and managed to get some footage of the fish. Here is a small video of me landing my 1st fall fish.

Fall Morning Fun

Well its 1030 Saturday night, just got back from the local theater and I get a text message from my son . "Dad I forgot my IPhone charger at your place, bring the charger  and I will meet you half way. Bring the canoe we can do some fall fishing at a nearby lake. Oh yea could you grab my lures and rods ". Well like a good dad I pack all his fishing gear got the canoe and headed out next morning to meet him to get him his charger. Thank God he forgot it wow what a day.

Here is the 1st of four fish with this bad boy 4lbs.. 

 

 Kory land this bucket mouth 4lb. 15 oz.

 

 

 

He finished the day off with a couple nice pike 

 

 

 

 

I was so unorganized that I didn't even have the GoPro out for my fish caught with the fly rod. Here is a small video of our morning outing.

Sept Pike

My son gave me a hard time about getting out fishing with him one more time before the salmon/steelhead season start. So I kidded him back with being soft and not coming out for some extreme fishing in the fall.
Here is a small video on our day out with Kory catching a couple pike. I stuck with my fly rod and had 3 hits but just having one heck of a time hooking up with these toothy critters. He wanted to name this post as kicking dad's ass but being the owner of this blog I will stick to Sept. Pike.
