Conditions were tough this morning. -1°C, 30km SW winds, snow/sleet/rain and my fingertips were frozen. No one in sight. First cast at the spot I hooked a big1, took a big run with a few head shakes and it came off. 🥹 nothing after that. Switched spots and I got a nice bow on the second cast and it put up a good fight😃 After a few miss hits my indicator got burried. This fish had some good weight, it took a few runs with barrell head shakes and it felt different. Long and behold the unicorn of lake ontario tributaries..😍 this one is my second to date but its an exception because it was beat up and spawned out. Its also rare in this creek.. This is why i love fly fishing in brutall conditions!🫡🎣🥷🌨

Landed a nice landlocked salmon that must’ve gotten out of the lake or stocked in previous years.
