Usually, Wednesday afternoons are when I run errands, take stuff for donation, etc. Last Wednesday I didn’t really feel like only doing that though, I wanted to enjoy the nice day of hot season coming up. I jumped in my car with my fishing rod and gear and decided to drive along the L’Assomption river until I could find a fishing spot.

I did find something interesting! I pulled on the side of the road at a random spot with my foldable chair and my gear and I had absolutely no expectations on catching anything. Next thing you know I could see big things in the water….

I could definitely see some trout, but I broke my fly fishing rod 2 years ago (I think) and all I was able to get were largemouth bass! I caught monsters, the biggest ones ever for me.

I first intended to stay for an hour but I stayed for a few more, as I was so excited for my first catches of 2025. I really wanted to catch a trout…. But it didn’t happen.

I guess next time!

Next time I also intend to be more prepared, with more gear, a fly fishing rod, waders, sunscreen and some picnic stuff. I’m pretty excited to take the kids to the river! Maybe Spence can finally catch his first fish.

Oh! Out of context, I’m coming up with a fish page for this website! I think it’s time I start flexing my breeding projects!
