The first week of August was our toughest so far this season . Warmer than normal temperatures combined with little to no rain has made fishing tough. Water levels on the Bonaventure, Petite Cascapedia and Grand Cascapedia are low and warmer than normal for this time of the season.
ASF’s Kirsten Rousse with her first one of the season on the Petite Cascapedia, congratulations Kirsten!
That being said its certainly not gloom and doom. As I writing this report its raining hard and the Grand Cascapedia is already on the rise. The Bony and Petite move a little slower but the fresh water will make a big difference.
Camp Bonaventure regular Keith Williams with a nice salmon from the Bonaventure. Well done Keith, see you next year.
Tim McDonald(Right) landed his first Bonaventure salmon with Camp Bonaventure master guide Marc Poirier. Well done guys.
The Bony has a good number of fish and fishing has been pretty good considering the conditions. The Petite Cascapedia is much the same with lower than normal levels, but we are having some good fishing. Water levels on the Grand Cascapedia were the lowest of our three rivers but the rain changed that in a hurry.
Stephen Lloyd puts one back on the Bonaventure, Congratulations Steven!
Dry’s continue on the top of the list for hot fly’s, Green, Brown and Blue in sizes 2, 4 and 6. The wets doing the job are the John Olin and Stone Ghost along with the Green Machine and Undertaker.
James French with his first one of the season, nicely done James!
They may have been harder to catch in the warmer weather, but its not because they weren’t there!
Until next week,
Tight Lines,
Glenn
