Driving East, Way East!

Hi Group,

I'm leaving tomorrow morning on a long drive - from west Michigan to New Brunswick Canada - for a few days of Atlantic salmon fishing. I've never done this before so I'm very excited. We'll be casting 8 and 9 weights all day so I've carved out some room in my tackle bag for a big bottle of ibuprofen. I'm told by my friends up there that historically some fish are taken on big dry flies. How cool would that be! If you don't see any pictures of me sporting a "seg" and holding a beautiful fish you'll know I didn't have any luck. So pull for me!

Be safe!!

What a wonderful experience either way! This will of course require a story with photos. Of course.
Hugs,

It is moving on to August, think small drys and small low water wets.. cast well and often, enjoy even if you do not get into an Atlantic Salmon the king of fish, you can still get into nice Sea run Brook trout, pike and heaven help me for saying this BASS, there are strippers also..

Salmon and STRIPPERS as well! When am I supposed to sleep?

On any fly fishing adventure - SLEEP IS HIGHLY OVER RATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was posted to CFB Gagetown NB, I used to get up at 0400AM and fly fish the Saint John River, then go to my unit for PT, at around 0700, my SSGT would send me out to the back forty to run a RRB = sleep while the radios did the work!!!
