Due to health issues (not too serious) I haven't done much fishing over here in Scotland this season,
but as I am on the mend, I am looking forward to my months vacation where I will be fishing and birdwatching in Canada and the USA.
So watch this space --
I am hoping to post some nice photos and stories on how I get on.
I'm back.
Well my holiday went too fast, it feels like I have never been away--but I had a great time
A bit of birdwatching, a bit of fishing, nice food, great chums and of-course it was great to see my daughter and my grand kids ( haven't they all grown!)
Before I start my Blog I am going to thank my fishing chum, skipper and fine photographer Mel Diotte for taking me out on his craft and locating some lovely hard fighting fish for me to catch.
On the first day accompanied by his lovely wife Sue ( a very good angler) we set out from La Salle Marina up the Detroit River towards the Ambassador Bridge.
A huddle of mallard chicks getting out of our way (ain't they cute)
And in the air-a flight of swans
We were soon into the fish--one of many hard fighting Silver Bass
It,s come a long way up through Lake Erie and into the Detroit River--- Lake St Clare and beyond.
The second day we shot down river towards Lake Erie where we had some great sport.
A nice Walleye ( Pickerel) comes to the net. ( A good eater--this one wont be going back)
( you may notice that I am holding the bigger ones)
A staged shot? never - Lol !!)
From the left-- Windsor Ontario, then over the Ambassador Bridge to Detroit City
Time to say goodbye, until next year, I will miss you all.
Well thats my wee blog done.
I,m back in Scotland now getting over my jet lag.
I will soon be back on the Clyde trying to hook up with our monster wild brown trout.
Give it a couple of months and once again I will be looking at booking my holidays back to Canada early next year.
