This is why my brothers and I, and various kids, family members, and buddies, go fishing in Algonquin Park in May! Nathan (in the red) and I have been doing this most springs starting in May 1999. Ben, our younger brother, comes when he is able to, and Darren, a great friend of ours, has made it every year but one since 2013.
This big brook trout was 20 inches long with a 10 inch girth and would have easily weighed in at 4 pounds. He (it is a male because of the hooked lower jaw, called a kype) hammered a 2/3 oz blue/silver Cleo.
I will let the photographs tell about the rest of our adventure this year...Enjoy, eh!

I have been in Algonquin water earlier than May 12, perhaps even on the last day of April. But I have never been in water as cold as this was, the day after ice-out on this lake. It isn't a close argument, either! Three thoughts occurred to me when I was in the water, and I think halfway through that third thought, I was out of the water!
Those thoughts?
A) This is by far the coldest water I've ever been in!
B) I'm glad my brother has a rope around me!
C) I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!!!

Home sweet home for 2 nights. My brother Nathan is sitting, and our great pal Darren is standing.
A magnificent, healthy bull moose (look closely for antlers) that Darren spotted on the road in to the access point.
