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.
