Nice Nottawasaga Steelhead

Friend to Muskoka Outdoors and fly fishing jedi, Gary, caught this beautiful steelhead in the Nottawasaga River close to Barrie.

The November caught trout was a great end to the season for Gary. It also marks the first time Gary has used a guide for this river and attributes the success of the day to his guide, Graham Bristow. In Gary’s words,

We caught 6 steelies in one day, missed at least 4 hook sets and 2 greater than 8 lbs which let go after jumping. Graham showed me how fish this productive river and the technique is much different than I initially read about.

If you would like an exciting day fishing on a Southern Ontario river, like the Nottawasaga, contact Graham through his website: Angler’s Pro.

    Apparently, it was 10C at the time of the fish!
