It seems that pretty much the only thing I've been catching lately is smallmouth bass. Not that I can complain, as far as freshwater fish go, they are one of the most fun to catch! I went up to Ottawa again this weekend for an epic 25km kayak run on the Rideau with my dad and bro. I also found some time to go hunt for some SMBs despite the sore muscles from all that kayaking. Here are some highlights from the weekend.
