This was our first trip to Pourvoirie Baroux about 1.5 hours out of Ottawa. What attracted us to this place other than trying other venues was that one lake is stocked with Arctic Char. As it turned out they stocked the lake with 2000 char right as we were arriving. I don't know if these were just stocked or if they were holdovers from last year.
There was a significant mayfly hatch going on so I put on as the point fly a PT Nymph. The best fly for the char was the Vampire Leech with a chartreuse bead. I put that on as the dropper. I had read that they liked this colour.
Once you find a "pod" of these fish you are in for a treat. Twice I had two fish on at the same time.
Lac Vinet is also stocked with Brook Trout and we were catching them in abundance at the same spot. We went back the next day and they were gone.
More to come.
