JC, ... That's touching.... Still Thinking about it.

Tim,

Mid June, Sun rises at 04h38 (on jun 24th) and you can fish starting 1 hour BEFORE that. So if you want get an early start, you need to eat at 02h00, finish up, wash up and be on the beach at 03h30. (well some die hards do that.)

As for salmon steaks on the beach, ... not always practical. Ya see, you MUST register a Salmon in Quebec within 24 hours of catching it (for a keeper). The fish has to be whole. So if you slice out a steak or two, you're breaking the law (has to be measured, scale taken etc. It's a tad complicated to dress out a salmon too for many. Quite a few anglers have it done by a Butcher in town.

We do serve up sea run brook trout on occasion though and I'll sometimes smoke a few over night for multi-day clients. (water smoker).

The longer daylight is a bit fun in June, but ... do a 3-5 day run and the nights start getting a tad short.

You can fish from 03h30 'til 21h42 on June 24th. Figure you breakfast an hour before and finish supper almost two hours after that and there are only 3 hours left for a night's sleep.

Afternoon naps are common. (Well, clients do, gives me a chance to try out some dries )


After a long morning of long casts on the 43, Vince takes a breather on the beech. (aug 2004)
