Ashley Rae And The One That Almost Got Away!

Ashley Rae of SheLovesToFish.com was kind enough to let me repost this amazing report she made of the massive brown trout she caught in Cobourg, right near where I caught my first steelhead. When you’re done reading this report please head over to She Loves To Fish and read more!

There are moments where blogs seem to write themselves in my mind while an experience is taking place. The sun shines a little brighter, the cool water swirls around my wading boots.. ducks taking off just downstream and flying feet overhead. It sounds to be straight from a book, but no – it’s fly fishing. This weekend was truly one of those times, and as I am writing this I am smiling while reliving it all over again.

Usually my blogs start off as a story and I save the best photo for last… but this time I am going to lay it on you right away. CHECK OUT THIS FISH:

My first ever brown trout caught yesterday here in Ontario, Canada. (Yes, mud on my nose! haha)

Brown trout are officially the most beautiful fish I’ve seen here in Canada. This one was spotted during a steelhead mission on a Lake Ontario tributary with my usual fly fishing partner, Mikey Fitzgerald.

Trout Fishing in Cobourg with KokeMachine & Friends

If you’re not familiar with 4 Eel Fishing and KokeMachine, you should skip lunch and take a refresher course. Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting and fishing with KokeMachine out in Cobourg, and thanks to our guide Dave everyone landed a fish!

And yes, for the record, KokeMachine sounds exactly like he does in his videos. OH YEAH!!

Here is our guide Dave, no he’s not a real guide, but he’s willing to take people out and teach them float fishing. Which is every bit as good. If you’re interested in float fishing in the Toronto area join our forums and let us know. Unfortunately there is no photo of the rainbow trout I caught, but I can tell you that having finally caught a fish on my float rod I’m hooked! Check out the full gallery after the break!

Trout Fishing In Cobourg

On November 5th, 2011 I headed out to Cobourg to fish with KokeMachine of 4 EEL Fishing and some friends. We got there before first light and had the trout turned on the moment the sun started to break the horizon. The trip was a complete success with everyone landing a fish, unfortunately not all were photographed.
