This specimen (an Atlantic Salmon) was briefly lifted out of the gin-clear waters of the Bonaventure River in the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, Ca. It marked, for me, the close of a very full season of guiding back in Maine. The moment was memorable, thanks to the company of some great fishing friends, and to those brothers of mine from different mothers, the Bonaventure guides. I won’t say this is as happy as a man can get, but it’s in the ballpark.
