My friend from Burlington came down today and wanted to do some urban fishing. What place is more urban than Labatt's Dam. I cast in with a perch rig and worm and right away land a small rock bass. My friend is using a hook and weight on the bottom and is getting nothing but snags. I throw in again and get a nice 2lbs channel cat. Across the river there are some guys starting to smoke crack, so it's time to move on.
We go to the Forks of the Thames next. Over the next couple of hours shooting the breeze my friend snags 2 little bass. About 8 inches. These are the first bass I've seen in this area in a long time. Needless to say they were put back with care. I manage a small turtle that was let go with harm or trouble.
Not an awesome afternoon fishing but it was good seeing my friend.

Rock Bass Opener
I went down to Labatt's dam on Saturday, after picking up a dozen minnows from Angling Sports on Adelaide. It was about 10 AM when I got there. There was one other fisherman and his son on the other side of the river. It didn't look like they caught anything. I fished from 10 AM until 12:30 PM. No trout, but I did hook into a bunch of rock bass. They ranged from 6 inches to 15 inches and maybe a pound in weight. They were not what I was looking for, but 10 fish are better than nothing.
The water level was really low at the dam. You can see the gravel and rock at the base and it looks less then a foot deep there.
