In the top left corner of the blog is a little video. On Friday, I went for a walk in the woods. The rod stayed home as I have been curious as to how my tiny spring creek trout fared during the spawning season. Since spring, when we found the tiny spring creek, we've been several times and never caught more than 2 dozen trout between 12 and 28", with at least one much larger fish. I'd always wondered if we'd missed seeing a few more tucked into the weed mats or under the willow and fallen spruce. I walked the usual 5km length of the stream and found a total of 10 brown trout redds. Remember that redd counts never represent total population estimates, but for fun it was interesting to note that our angling is about right.
It was a great day as I was able to sneak up behind these two fish and get within about 6 feet of them without ever being detected. These two were about 22 and 24" each.
Anyway, it's just a moment in time, with poor quality video, but neat if you like fishy moments.
Apologies for the poor video quality, as the lcd screen on our Sony HD camera crapped out and we took it in for repair 4 weeks ago and it is supposed to be back 2 weeks ago - you know how that goes.
Cheers
