Salmon fishing & fly tying on the Miramichi...

Sunday 9 September 2012

The weekend report... well, kinda...

I have a feeling I'll be achy for a few more days after playing woodsman for a day..... I have absolute respect for anyone who runs a saw or brushcutter for a living! I was up in the Miramichi area for a couple days this weekend with Paul and Brandon working on a good friends woodlot. We cleared a pretty good patch for being a bunch of city slickers - although Fred and Dale are likely still laughing! =) Massive thanks to the good folks at the Oxbow (Click Here) - I always enjoy my visits there and the new lodge is going to be awesome!

A few pictures from the Heritage section of the Oxbow website:

A couple pictures from the area of our woodsmen endeavours.... Dad, Joe and Bill popped by for a visit as we were finishing up.

We did manage to get out for a fish for a couple hours and the Elson-ator managed to hook up briefly - We raised a few more fish but no other hook ups - well except for the chubasaurus that took a huge blue bomber!

I did a little recon on the Hammond this afternoon -- things are looking MUCH healthier now!

P.S. Brandon, thanks for explaining what 'Alt Tags' are and what they're used for!
