Each late September, I am “host rod” to a group of fly fishermen on the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec. Here, the waters run “gin clear” as they say, and the Atlantic salmon run large. We stay at Camp Bonaventure, an Orvis-endorsed lodge located on the Bonaventure River. We fish for five days with a Camp Bonaventure guide, and the pools are rotated so that there is never excessive fishing pressure on any one. Here is one scene from this year’s trip. The lucky angler was Joseph Kievitt. That’s me on the net, Jay Thomas snapping a photo, and guide Matt Flowers in the far background.
