Forget the fish, I'm very impressed with that orange toque!! Jealous I am!! Looks like you too are having a beauty of a fall this year. We're usually in the midst of rain and wet and cold...this year not so much. Great day on the water for sure!
Back in the Day, the only place in Southern Ontario to get Splake was Eustache Lake near Lake Traverse.... I think they eventually used those rare natural hybrid fish as a source of brood stock to propagate Splake in many of the lakes in Ontario. It was a 4 mile walk in from the railroad tracks... this lake is one of the deepest in Ontario and surrounded by cliffs. Fishing vertical from rocks on the shore at the one feeder waterfall, I ran out over over 50 yds of line with no bottom... Heavy little Delphin spoons... 4 pounders were common.... This fishery still exists... Glad to see Splake in one of our old trouting lakes near Bissette.
As usual very interesting Story. The ministry has done a great job in our area. Little Lake in particular has always produced at least some fish for us. It was nice that the majority of these fish were at least 2 years stocked, hence the meat was nice and pink from eating natural as opposed to the white 'corn meat' of the new stock. Thanks for your support kind Sir. My wife and I love your walk down memory lane with your comments. Cheers.

I love this hat my friend. My daughter made it for last year. One of a kind. Glad you like it!
