Paddled and fished the river for close to 4 hours and only a couple little small mouth had given any indication of life beneath the surface. Very quiet, only saw two other guys in a canoe all day...

And then, a nice 18" Brookie puts up a good fight, splashing around and pulling me into the faster water...I think the river brookies fight harder than their lake-dwelling buddies....maybe they're used to constantly battling the current?...

Plus 2 more released and the smallmouth. Needless to say I was pretty jacked for a bit, and pulled ashore to clean the fish and throw them on ice May have had a celebratory beverage at this point too. Started to head out, as it was threatening rain, and getting late in the day... Got some rain on my 1 1/2 hr trip back to the truck. A bit wet, a bit tired out, but definitely a fun day on the river, and now I have another Brookie spot on my go-to list!

The keepers

I am waiting for back country season to open up for a trip out with the misses to target some brookies!
