It is September so it is back to trout fishing in Eastern Ontario.  I've been out several times.  With the cool and wet spring, the lakes are cool and high so we had an early start.  But now we are having the summer that never was and the surface temp has jumped back from 65F to 70F.   Some lakes with good hatches have given dry fly action but most have had delayed bug action and we have to use full sink lines to get down 15-20 ft.
I've been hitting the brookie lakes early in the day as opposed to the afternoons when I would normally go at this time of year .   Even in the later afternoon, there have been few boatman seen.  Normally they would be coming off in droves, sending the trout into a feeding frenzy.  
Our rainbow lakes have been slow this year.  We may be having trouble with the new triploids they are stocking.  I hope to have more information on this soon.
The other day, I lost a very large brookie in a small  lake.  Theory holds that there is always a "king fish" in every lake.  I got to see one!
Orange Hammills Killer is the fly in the picture.  Dropper fly was only a foot from the fly line.  You do not have to have long leaders.
