Day tripping for trout in the many Prince Edward Island ponds......
Prince Edward Island offers 1,100 miles of coastline, deeply indented with many estuaries and bays. There are few natural lakes, however there are more than 800 artificial ponds, many originally constructed as mill ponds. The streams themselves are short and spring fed; most originating from springs that discharge 7 C water in summer and winter. As a result, streams on Prince Edward Island are less dependent upon surface run-off and maintain good flows, even in summer.
A well-stocked PEI pond is the best classroom for teaching a young angler the finer points of trout fishing. Casting and retrieve methods can be easily taught from the bank, and pond fish will bite more readily than their larger-water cousins.
Most of the Brook trout flies are tied on hooks sizes from 10-16. Some of the more common fresh water trout flies include: royal coachman, dark montreal, white wulff, woolly worm, muddler minnow light and dark Cahill, and variations of the mosquito. Fly variations and patterns unique to the Island can be discovered through local anglers.
During your visit to Prince Edward Island you will find that it is never a long way to the closest pond. If you want to practice your fly fishing technique or just cut your teeth on fishing with a fly rod try a trip to a stocked pond. It can be a great way for a family to spend the afternoon together.
