The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

RON WARD/TIMES & TRANSCRIPT

My son just came into my office a couple of minutes ago and told me I might be interested in an article in Times & Transcript’s website. My first thought was more of the bad news happening to Japan and was going to say no. My heart so goes out them but I can only watch so much.

Then he said it was a fly fishing article and I perked up right away.

So for any of you guys and gals interested in fly fishing and fly tying I might just see you there. It will be my first time there as I have missed it every single year but heard about it later.

Fly fishing Forum Set For The End of March

Fishermen of every stripe have circled the weekend of March 26 and 27 on their calendars, the dates of the eighth annual Dieppe Fly Fishing Forum. From very humble beginnings, this initiative of the Dieppe Fly Tying Club has grown into a must-see event for recreational anglers of every kind, but especially for fly fishermen.

True to their roots, the show still aims simply to promote the graceful, relaxing art of enticing a fish to an artificial fly. In particular, it’s geared towards under-represented segments of the population when it comes to fly fishing, like young people and women. But make no mistake, even some of the greatest fly tyers and fishermen in the world will find something interesting at the forum.

“It’s simply a gathering of all fly fishermen and all people interested in fly fishing,” Heroux points out.
