Gone Fishin'

Just putting the finishing touches on my packing job for a two-day crown reserve water trip. Crown reserve here in New Brunswick is "a limited entry fishery, whereby angling opportunities on prime salmon and brook trout angling waters are allocated on a rod-per-day basis" (Gov't of NB website).

In other words, it gives us peasants who don't own the best private salmon pools a chance to fish good water without paying $500 per day.

Of course, when the government introduced mandatory catch & release regulation on some stretches to ease pressure on low salmon numbers, two-thirds of the peasants gave up their allocated days.

Civilized world, meet New Brunswick... #Facepalm

But for me, it's two days chasing my nemesis.

Happy Friday.
