Expensive for sure, but nicely tied.
They're in NB.

I do a lot of fishing for brookies, and make special trips every year for them. Some great places for them I've been: Algonquin Park in Ontario, Reserve Beauchene in Quebec, and the Whale river in...

The problem I was having with the guide pros was that they were developing seep leaks in the lower legs. Both pairs I went through did the same thing.
As someone else mentioned the clip that...

I've been using Orvis Guide-Pros for the last few years, but have been unsatisfied. I haven't made it out on the water a lot in the past couple of seasons, but I find that the guide-pros have failed...

I've been thinking about getting yet another reel. This one would be for either a 7/8 or 8/9 switch rod (I haven't decided which to build yet).
This reel would be used primarily for Atlantic...

Ever try roll-casting a type V sinking line when then the fly is snagged 10 feet down?

That's what I was talking about in my post.

I guess what I meant by brittle is that it has no stretch (Maxima brown), and tends to pop, especially at knots (I use double surgeon's loops) when under high and sudden pressure in my experience.

For the past few summers, I've headed up to the Whale river in Northern Quebec to fish for brookies, land-locked salmon, pike and lake trout. The river-dwelling lakers get pretty large, averaging...

Hello all,

During the week of Sept 10-18, I did a driving tour of the periphery of the Gaspe penninsula with my significant other. I've previously lived in Quebec for a long period of time, and...

Thanks for the suggestions all!

I really liked the salmon streamers I used. They had a rigid tube where the materials were tied and wrapped, but the lower part of the tube was soft...

Last week I had the opportunity to fish for Atlantic salmon in the Gaspe region of Quebec. I had a blast, sight fishing over large fish for two days in crystal clear water, and ended up landing four...

Nice fish, but (and don't take this the wrong way), why in the world are you using Boga grips on 16-17 inch trout?

Can't possibly be easier on the fish than a proper net since the fish has to be...

Nah Chris,

I think he meant 18 inches around, like this Canadian pig :-)

If anyone's interested, I have a small sampling of...

Any opinions on whether the SST is worth the extra $125 over the deep wading jacket?

I would be using the jacket over waders (or waterproof pants) both while fishing from a boat and while wading....

Thanks for the input guys.
I also got a Clouser line, but it had a pre-installed loop on the backing end making my decision easier. Don't know why they don't do that with the Grand as well.

Just...

First time I've had this happen.
I tried attaching 20 dacron to a new Rio Grand 6wt floating line this weekend. Used the same old knot I usually do for backing (similar to a nail knot, forget the...

Yeah, the fishing at Champdore was superb.

Send me your email addy, and I can forward a trip report that I've written for the man in Canada section (it'll start appearing soon, but in multiple...

In northern Quebec, not far from Labrador is the Whale river system.
In the next week or so, I'll be posting a report (in the Man in Canada section) on my fishing at Camp Champdore at the headwaters...
