Didnt get as much fishing done as I would have liked as I spent most of my time meeting my partners family and friends, but with this being the first of many trips to Canada it leaves plenty for me to look forward to. Only had two days of bad weather while I was there and sure enough they were during my trip further North to Muskoka and Algonquin, this meant my fishing charter was cancelled and my day canooing/fishing in Algonquin park should have been cancelled, but like an idiot I went anyway only to spend the day bailing water from the canoo and trying not to drown us lol.

After hearing about my missfortune some friends told me I should come round and spend a day fishing off their dock. They have a cottage on a private lake with a dock 25m from their back door. Tell ya what, if i had a lake on my back door step i would never make it to work lol. Spent the day chucking soft plasticks off the dock and catching bass after bass, only little guys but im told there are some big ones in there. Also went out on their boat for a little while trolling a diving minow which got smashed by a northern pike, never to be seen again.

Was a great day out and thanks to Canadian hospitality I got at least a bit of fishing done on my trip and what a beautifull place to fish. Bass are an amazing fish, great fun on ultra light gear with some spectacular jumps. Im already dreaming of my next trip back there when i can spend more time north and have a solid go at fishing in Canada.
