The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

Since having a heart attack back in 2004 I have been gaining more strength and looking forward to the day I have enough strength to tackle a good sized striper or Muskie.

This year was my best year since 2004 and was even able to do a lot more yard and garden work.

I have already setup my treadmill and have been using it. It sure is different than walking through Moncton on the sidewalks. The first couple of days on the treadmill showed me I have been taking too many pictures and not doing enough actually walking, so the treadmill should do me some good this winter. Plus I'm going to eat lots more spinach.

I always look forward to checking my email in the mornings. Casey always has a great joke to start the day or a funny or exciting video. Just this morning he sent me a link to a YouTube video where a guy was fishing stripers on the Saint John river.

The mercury was reading minus 4C but that didn't stop him from setting up his lines for some striper fun. It only took about 15 minutes and he had this fat striper on the line.

His striper was 32 inches in length and was about 10-12 lbs.
