Tying a few more spring flies...

The rivers will most likely be shot for the weekend after all the rain this week but I'm still tying a few big flies just in case:

'Black Ghost' Bunny Strip fly.

Getting a few flies tied up for next weekend - here's a Black Ghost:



A few of my favorite pictures from 2011..

My Brother in law, Brad took this one last year with his camera. This was taken at the Wulff Den and was used in Damian Welsh's book "Atlantic Salmon Flies of Nova Scotia".


I took this one at McKendrick Lake last year with Dad's Sony camera:


I took this one last year with my iphone 4 also at the Wulff Den:

April 20 - 21 trip report

Dad & I headed to the Den yesterday afternoon for some spring salmon fishing. We had a great 24 hours and managed 8 fish to the boat including 3 beautiful atlantic salmon (the rest, grilse). Here's a video of me fighting a salmon that Dad took last night and a few pictures from the trip:


The fish of the trip - Dad's beautiful hen from last night:









It was a great trip and I hope there are a few salmon left in the river next weekend!

And a nice morning hen!

If this were a game we'd be tied at 2! But it's not ;)

And a couple more grilse!

1 more for Dad and 1 for me!
