July has been treating us well so far! We’ve had very accommodating weather this past week; some days were sunny, others casted over and even a couple days of rain. The perfect recipe for healthy rivers and happy guests. The rain we received last Sunday started the rivers off on the right foot!
The smile says it all! Congrats Pierre on a beautiful catch! We are so happy for you!
The Bonaventure river is as beautiful as ever and again produced some great salmon this week. It began its week flowing in the 17 cubic meters per second range and ended there as well. However, it did fluctuate nicely throughout the week and even saw 20 cubic meters per second after our Wednesday rain. Although our rivers are lower that what we normally expect at this time in the season, we are seeing a nice number of salmon, especially in our low water holding pools.
This is what memories are made of! Father & Son duo Gaetan and Jean Francois Joly were an absolute joy to have at the Club! Nicely done JF!
These water conditions call for small flies. The most productive wet flies this week have been the Stone Ghost, Blue Charm and Green Machine! As for the Bombers, the normal Green, Blue and Dark Brown are working very well, especially if there’s a little sparkle added to their tail end.
Ça Va Bien Aller!
Stay Safe & Tight Lines!
Julia
