The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

Winter seemed extra long again this year but Spring is finally here and there's just one more day until New Brunswick fishing season opens once again.

We're still getting snow but that sun is getting more and more intense so it doesn't stick around for long before it melts away.

Ron was telling Casey that as he passed on of our favourite pickerel fishing spots near Chipman and said it was still full of ice. Haven't seen that for more than a decade but it's not uncommon. It would be cool to catch spawning chain pickerel and we practice catch and release so they would be released right where they were spawning. Don't think I've ever caught pickerel while they were spawning.

Look Out Muskie I'm Hunting For You

Got me some muskie gear this past winter, thanks to a couple of fishing friends, Casey and Ron. Ron sold them to me and Casey picked them up at the muskie club meeting a few weeks ago. Now all I have to do is catch me that first one.
