Flywire Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 As Brian said there was some ice but by the time i got down there there was almost none on the backdrift. I got there around 3 and left at 4:30 but managed one small brown. There were also some really wierd looking geese down there >_<. And the wierd birds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 nice fish!!! i was gonna head down, but thought better of it.... guess it really wasn't better lol Those Geese were following the boats around on the weekend, watched them swim behind a boat for about 100yds and they sat about 1ft from another boat while it was docked... pretty tame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brian Laketrout Cuthbertson Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Flywire Thats is a pritty fish! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Flywire, that brown has great colour .....I believe the water quality affects the colour also . Those geese are different looking so I went to google and found them....they are called Greylag geese , and there is quite a history to them . Just type in "greylag geese " and go to either the web or images for lots of pics & info . I got a nice shot of three white swans at Port Dal. a few weeks ago that were all over the harbour . These birds need to get a grip and head south.....they can fly free of charge.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chilli Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Beauty fish. Good size for eating but I don't think I could bring myself to keeping that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flywire Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I was actually going to keep it but it had a fair sized chunk missing out of its tail looked like a bite but had a couple small growths so I put it back and took off like nothing even happened. Later that day I went into a job interview smelling like trout >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vidarling Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hey Flywire, Nice Fish, beautiful colours. Hope that the interview went well. As for the goose, Sorry Smerch, but that is a Greater White Fronted Goose. Greylag geese are only found in Europe and Asia. I have seen them a few times intermingling with Canada Geese on the parkway in Fort Erie. They are nice to see. I used to see thousands of them during the migration season in Alberta. Take Care, Ian P.S. I am still at Stamford, did you manage to escape, I mean graduate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks Vid for the info ......I did see that all the info on those geese was from Europe and even Greenland ! But when I went back to google & looked at both types , the greylag still looks more like those geese down at the river ...I'm no expert and they are very similiar looking ......they kind of remind me of the brant goose , wonder if they are as plentiful as our Canada geese....
