I like casting a fly rod! Good thing, because I spend most of my time on an Atlantic salmon river here in central Quebec. The famous fish of ten thousand casts! There are plenty of opportunities to practice our casting and presentations.
The year was 1944 and World War II was starting to turn in favor of the allies. Some soldiers were sent home from Europe at this time as the need for manpower was decreasing. 
Here is our Christmas card from the Ladyfisher and the Chronicler to all of our friends at FAOL. Enjoy, and we pray that each of you know the Christ behind the holiday that we call Christmas. 
Dee's annual Christmas story.
It was a day off and a very nice day to be out. Loaded everything in the truck, especially the vest, and headed out. I was heading to a pond that I don’t get to fish very often. I have to cross three pastures, and it is rare to not have cattle on any of them. I don’t cross fields with cattle in them. That way I can’t be blamed for any cows getting out. I got blamed for that one time. 
Recently, while doing some research for an article I was writing I stumbled across nifty little pattern I wanted to share with your readers. The pattern is called the Herring Drake. It was designed for lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), which Michigan sportsmen erroneously call ‘herring’ (hence the name, Herring Drake).
