I launched the kayak on the grandriver with intent to explore a new spot Ive always wanted to check out. With fly rod in hand I poked around the train bridge abuttments and drifted downstream along the islands beachy edge. Near the southern tip I found stacks of carp but no interest in the armoured worm. https://theriverlife.ca/posts/tommy-thompson-day1/ Fri, 10 May 2024 11:31:10 -0400 https://theriverlife.ca/posts/tommy-thompson-day1/ Toronto I started spring 2024 by booking 8 Fridays off , May through June. The first trip was to an old faithful spot, Tommy Thompson Park in Toronto.

Shallow flats covered with Lilly pads fill in most of the pond and the river carves a channel down the south bank line with downed trees, perfect habitat for carp and bass. It wasn’t long before I spotted some, but lack of practice maneuvering the kayak caused some blown opportunities. https://theriverlife.ca/posts/hello-2023/ Thu, 15 Jun 2023 19:31:10 -0400 https://theriverlife.ca/posts/hello-2023/ Splash I got out this week for some exploration of an old haunt. My eye caught some tails waving on the mud flats so I suited up and went in. It wasnt long before the armoured worm was chased down by these hungry lil carps. Armoured Worm
