Quebec Bass

The surface temperature is getting too high for safe C&R of trout.  At my last outing a few days ago it was 73F.  Trout will avoid water at this level.  The recently stocked trout can handle it but the older ones stay down deep and come to feed at night or very early morning, if they come near the surface at all.

However, we are saved out here in the East with the opening of Bass season.   It is a 2 1/2 hour drive for me but catching one like this makes it worthwhile.  I've always wanted to try mouse patterns so I made up a few.  No need to go deep and it is much more fun to dry fly fish.

Also got a three foot pike on a Mississippi Maiden (you would have to be an Ottawan to know that fly!).
