Got up early yesterday morning and got Brad’s new-to-him used Crestliner boat in the the water at a launch on Chippawa Creek. We’re both planing on spending a ton of time in this thing over the summer and in to the fall.

The top of the water was like glass, no one else was out yet! Visibility was fantastic. We ran the trolling motor East towards the intake for the Chippawa-Queenston Hydro Canal and then in to the Grassy Brook which is right across the Creek from it.

The brook is full of downed trees, lily pads and grass which is fantastic for bass fishing. Its also not uncommon to see beavers swimming around and deer on shore or in the park. If the deer see you though, they’ll take off in a hurry.
