If you were planning to join us at the Waterside Inn next week for a seminar on fly fishing the Michigan peninsula it has been postponed. We could tell you a that there were scheduling difficulties or make some other excuse but what it comes down to is that we have been so focused on opening our new fly fishing store on the Grand River in Fergus that we have not promoted the event properly. The fault lays squarely at the feet of us and not at all with our guest speaker Matt Supinski, author of Steelhead Dreams. We apologize for this but hope you will plan on attending our next travel seminar at the end of March.

On March 28th my cousin Keith Wilson is doing a slide presentation at the Waterside Inn in Port Credit on fly fishing for Atlantic Salmon at Wilson’s Camps. Our family lodge has been operating on New Brunswick’s Miramichi River since 1855 and Keith is the 5th generation to run what is one of the grand dames of fly fishing lodges on the Eastern Seaboard. Tickets are $25 and we will be giving away a few items including the grand prize of a 3 day trip to Wilson’s Camps.

There are peaks in life and there are valleys. My valley is the one the Miramichi River runs through in New Brunswick. I am very fortunate to own a property overlooking the Miramichi and I go there to recharge as often as I can.

My second cousin Keith Wilson and his wife Bonnie run Wilson’s Camps on the Miramichi River. This lodge was founded in 1855 and it is one of if not the oldest, continuous running Atlantic Salmon lodge on the eastern sea board – and it is a place that every fly angler should visit. I tell friends that their fly fishing resume isn’t complete until they catch a salmon at Wilson’s on the Miramichi and while I say it in a joking manner I am also more than a bit serious. This river has played more than a passing role in the history of fly fishing in North America and I consider it both a privilege to fly fish this river and an honour to do so at Wilson’s.

Family allegiances aside, there are few if any other lodges that have the number of private pools and the quality of fishing that is available at Wilson’s. There are certainly other places where you can catch more or larger Atlantic Salmon but few if any that can match the sense of history you get at Wilson’s. The history of this lodge is a part of the history of our sport and every time I fish these waters it is one of the peaks of my angling year.

Life does have its peaks and valleys and if you are lucky, like me, they are one and the same…
