Despite last weeks heat wave where temperatures climbed into the high 90’s, we managed to hook and land a number of fine salmon. The weather’s been hot and very humid across the Gaspe Peninsula and all our rivers are experiencing low water conditions. Despite lower water conditions we did however land a good number of salmon and grilse but we’re working a little harder for them.
This was Sebastian Gabriel’s first time to the Club, defiantly not his last!
The Bonaventure is low but still cool and holding at 12 cubic meters per second , very low for this time of the season. We do have a good number of salmon in our pools, Deep Water Ledge, Push and Gallagher are starting to fill up. Double Camp as always has more than its share.
Double Camp still has a good flow despite low water conditions but its still full of salmon!
We could really use some rain, all the rivers on the Peninsula are low at the moment but certainly still fishable. The weather man is calling for showers on Monday and Tuesday, lets hope he’s accurate for once!
This weeks menu!
The hot fly’s for the week have been a mixture of dry’s and small wets. Green, Dark Brown and especially Blue Bombers were responsible for most of the catches. In the wet fly department, the John Olin, Green Butt and Black Ghost did the job, the Green Machine is also catching up pretty quickly as one of the best fly’s. The sizes that are working best are number 8’s 10’s and 12’s.
Until next week,
Tight Lines,
