The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick |
Gotta Try Fly Fishing The Petitcodiac River While Surfing The Tidal Bore Posted: 24 Jul 2013 11:43 AM PDT Now there's a goal. Grab your fly rod, a couple of flies boxes and jump on your surfboard. Be sure you're on time because the tide waits for no man or woman. The guy in the front looks like it's a walk in the park so I'm sure he would give it a try. I want to be there with my video camera. Landing a salmon on your surfboard and keeping your balance might be a bit challenging. Ten or twelve Canada geese were running along the bank on the other side of the river. They were pretty much running in single file like they didn't want to miss anything. A couple of local surfers got in the water just down river from where I was standing and then paddled down river to meet the other two or three surfers as they were coming around the bend by the big red hotel. I am really glad I decided to go and see what it was all about. I think there were two surfers from California, the two local guys and then I'm not sure but I think I saw at least five surfers. There were two seadoos going back and forth helping anyone who lost the wave back to the front again so they could keep going. Near the end of it there was one surfer way back from the other. I think he lost his paddle and couldn't keep up. I had my video camera setup in the direction they were coming and I just waited until the crowd got louder. Then I knew someone saw them coming towards the bend. There were a lot of people closer than I was so I could hear them a minute or two before I could see the surfers. Lots of time to turn on the video camera. I don't do many videos so it's choppy and the wind is making a lot of noise. |
