Great show. It shows the realities of Atlantic salmon fishing. No one is guaranteed a fish! G.R.O. operates a top notch camp and the guest is given ample space and comfort during their stay. Congrats on your success Matt. I find it rather interesting that you mentioned that Paul White claims to have "created" the dirty bomber. The same was said in your recent Southern Labrador show - and is incorrect. While he certainly has gotten the credit for it (being the loudest voice tends to result in such at times) this fly was first tied by Dave Ryan. Paul's circle will say different, however the late Don Hutchens wrote the same in his recent novel. At the end of the day perhaps a moot point, but, credit to the originator, and not the one with a loud speaker, is due where it most belongs.
As much as I like, and as wonderful as the cinematography typically is, I actually really enjoyed the cell video montage. It made it feel "realer-" more like something I might be out there doing, and not just a fantasy.
Water levels have been rough the last few years here in NL. However, 2023 has been a more traditional winter with regards to temperatures, at least here on the Avalon, so hopefully the lower temps will hang around a while and help the snow melt temper the water levels further into the late spring and summer. Seeing the exposed river bed and paltry trickle in many of your shots is almost downright painful 😬
I've been wanting to get out there to do a spot of fishing ! If I ever get the chance do you think it would be OK to bring my old guitar ? I'd love to play along with those guys. Thanks for taking us along today.
Fantastic! Another gem folks!
Glad you enjoyed it
That's as real as it gets. Great episode, guys.
Great watch. Salmon fishing, the most addictive and frustrating sport in the world.
Well said and totally true....which is why we love them!
Looking forward to this one, getting up to Gander with Matt at Gander River outfitters is on my bucket list!!
Another great video and stunning scenery!
What a beautiful place!
What a spot. Need to get back there

Those glasses are absolutely hilarious.😂

Go for it, bring your guitar!
Is there public access to this river?
yes but you need a boat
@@newflyfisher Thank you. Great episode. A bucket list trip for me. Wade Safe.
@@newflyfishernope, there is a trail out to first pond bar
There's a trail that goes almost exactly where the outfitter is. There are several more that lead to the various pools up and down river.
So funny when anglers blame their lack of catching a fish on bananas. News flash . . . it's NOT the bananas
Noodle rods are fun asf especially when you release the majority of what you get each year
