Overall we’ve had another good week at camp with fish in the book every day. Not the numbers we’re used to at this time of the season but fishing is improving with each passing day.
This is Arnaud Duport’s (Left) second time at Salmon Lodge, He was coached by master guide Jean Marc Clermont ,Congratulations Arnaud!
Eric Vigny with his first one of the season, nice one Eric, Congratulations!
The weather warmed up considerably by mid week and the last few days have been hot and sunny with temperatures in the 90 degree range. Mornings and evenings are the time to fish when it gets this hot.
Long time Salmon Lodge guest John Pearson, a great guy and angler, nice one John!
John Allman with his son Jack , they landed this one on the Grand guided by Salmon Lodge guide Clement Bernier. Nice one Jack!
The Bonaventure continues to produce some nice salmon and our water temperatures are staying cool despite the hot weather. The rain we received late last week maintained our water levels and gave the bony a nice boost. Water flow on Saturday was 30 Cubic meters per second, perfect for this time of July..
Michael Peluso landed this nice salmon on the Bonaventure , nice one Michael, congratulations,
The Petite Cadcapedia is also producing some nice salmon and our guides are telling me there are fresh salmon in most pools. Water flow on the Petite is at 15, she definatly could use some rain. The Grand is also fishing well but could use a couple of rain to bump water levels. Water flow on the Grand Cascapedia is at 22, below normal for this time of the season.
Lara Mucelli broke her husbands rod, the day started off on the wrong foot
The hot fly’s for the week have been a mixture of dry’s and small wets. Green, Dark Brown and Blue Bombers were responsible for most of the catches. In the wet fly depatment, the John Olin, Green Butt and Silver Rat did the best. The Picasse and Green Spey were the winners on the Petite. The sizes that are working best are number 8’s and 10’s
Luckily they had a spare, as you can see , the day ended on a happier tone, congratulations Lara!
The weather man shows a bit a rain early next week and temperatures will be cooling down . Maybe this hot weather will produce a thunderstorm, we are keeping our fingers crossed.
Until next week,
Tight Lines,
Glenn
