'The Man At The Mouth': George RoutledgeSeason #5 is shaping up to be a BIG year for the Fly Fishing Club.  We are starting early in order to prepare for the upcoming season.  We are hoping that all of our veterans will return along with any new members who are interested in "all things salmon fishing'.  With that said, we will be having monthly fly tying sessions for any students interested in learning the art of fly tying.  We are hoping to create our own salmon flies that will hook into a salmon on one of our trips.  Our first session will be on Tuesday, November 29 after school in Mr. Hallihan's classroom.  No equipment is necessary...be sure to check us out!!! 

Cains River MapWell it's official...we will be fishing the last day of the season, Saturday October 15, on a tributary of the Southwest Miramichi - CAINS RIVER.  We will be canoeing down from Buttermilk Brook and fishing the pools along the way to the Main Southwest Miramichi.  We hope to get into some great Fall salmon and we will report back after our trip.  Great way to close out the season!

Eric Gilliss' Bartibog SalmonThis past weekend Eric Gilliss landed a beautiful salmon on the Bartibog River.  Here is his fishing story in his own words..."He was 32 inches long, a solid 12 pounder. Took a #6 Shady with a red butt, black hackle and crystal flash. He put up a good fight. I was fishing in front a camp and the owners were there for supper. When it became obvious that I had a fish on the lad came down with his landing net in one hand and his son, around 5 or 6 up on his shoulder. The kid was even more excited than I was so I gave him the rod and let him play the fish for a bit, he was well hooked so he wasn't going anywhere. That picture doesn't do his coloration justice, never seen a fish as red as he was, just beautiful!"
