Musky fishing Lake St Clare Ontario

My fishing guide, Andy Copland said "Well-I will take you out but you are going to get wet and the temperature has dropped a few degrees so its going to be cold." "Whats our chances of catching?"I said.
"Its early season so it ain't going to be easy,but put it this way-if we go out there is always a chance--if we don't? !  your the paymaster its your decision"Andy replied.
He opened up the throttle and out we went.
After travelling about 6 miles in 10 minutes we were ready to set up for our first drift.
Four rods in total- 2 on conventional drift method and 2-on boards attached to a mast.

After drifting for about half an hour--Bang!! first fish. a very small musky, but a success,I was happy.

Five minutes later in come another one,this time a bit bigger reaching 34"

I thought it was a big one,but the skipper said it was only a baby.
 The best of the 5 fish we caught,reaching 45"----- it was big enough for me.
We had been out for 4 hours now and it had started to rain.The skipper said "This weather is a welcome break for me,I,m usually out here in 90 degrees". Well I get enough of this in Scotland,lets get out of here, I can think of a more comfortable place to be" "Your the boss" he replied.


My 3 weeks holiday is now coming to an end, I have spent most of the time with my daughter and grandchildren (as one should), I have managed to escape twice and have fished Canadian style, both days were a success.Thanks again to my fishing guide Andy.
Ive had a great time in Canada.
I will be back.
