#0190 "The Trout Pool"

We were trout fishing on the Bighead River just south of Meaford in late April 1988. There were a few trout in the pool. I caught two nice fish. One was six pounds and the other was a beautiful nine pound rainbow. I rarely keep any fish but these were tasty.

I was fishing on the north side of the bridge catching the branches of the large willow tree on the opposite bank as well as those two fish.

My canoe partner was at his favourite spot just in front of the deep hole in the Bighead River. It was cold as water was freezing in the eyes of the fishing rod.
