FlyFishing in Montreal

There are several good spots one can use a flyrod in and around Montreal, but none compare to the Lachine rapids. I have been hearing about this place for years, everyone who has fished it tells me it is a good spot for brown trout and rainbows, but I have never been able to get anyone to take me there.

This is going to change. This spring, one of my new fishing buddies has offered to take me on a day trip to Sainte Catherine (the south shore part of the Lachine rapids). I went on a scouting mission last week, the rapids are quite impressive. They stretch for quite a while, the water appears shallow enough to wade, and I hear there is trout and even salmon there. Since ice fishing has been so-so this winter, Ivery much look forward to this expedition.

To learn more on this area and how it is fished, please read Luis Nasim's article, "Fly Fishing in Montreal" it is at once poetic and informative, definitely the best read I had on the subject.
