Retirement is coming soon and so is a New Adventure

Over the years I've taken 100's and maybe 1,000's of Youth/Kids out on Fishing, Canoeing and taught a lot of them Archery as well with the Teeswater Kids Archery Club, helped to bring back the Teeswater Scouting Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and even Ventures for a couple years, helped with the B.A.S.S. Casting Kids events, Junior Club and travelled with the Junior BASS team to 4 events with other Members and Parents, I was on the Canadian Bass Anglers Federation 2009 Team Ontario and fished Lake Champlain. I started the LHFC School Hatchery Program and grew it 50 school's with the help of our Sister Clubs and other fishing groups from 2010-2025 and know I'm helping out with Fishing Friendzy Foundation Events and running 2 Youth Fishing Leagues so far. If you have someone that wants to learn or just get out on a Nitro Z6 bass boat to try their luck at fishing lets make it happen.

I had the Kincardine Beavers Leader reach out for a Hatchery Tour

All the yearly Rainbow Trout had been released but these 110,000 Rainbow Trout eggs are looking good and the Brown Trout aren't doing too bad either.

Maitland River Bluevale Pond

A bit of video from below and above the dam in low water there might have been one fish that I saw. The clarity looks good here to for tomorrow's Trout Opener.

First trip of the year after a service at SMG Marine in Port Elgin

Motor serviced, shifter cable replaced, steering tightened up and a good cleaning while it was there. Looks like it's going to get cold again next week so I thought I better get the boat out while I had the chance. I'm really hoping for the weather to straighten out so I can get out after some Panfish locally on some on the inland lakes or Perch, Pike maybe even some Walleye out of Lake Huron or make a run for Perch over on Simcoe, who else is getting ready to go Fishing. Had a few Panfish rods with me but just driving around mapping before the fog moved in.
