Beautifully shot video. Very informative on the lure and tranquility of salmon fishing. Dion's information of the lack of Canadian science on the negative role of seals, particularly the 7+million Harp seals, play in the balancing of predation in our aquatic system was enlightening.
Fine and interesting video.. and experiences of your salmon angling culture and opportunity across the Atlantic for salmo salar.. mind you your rods are a wee bit short..but the wadibg is as ..challenging.... Salmon on the dry fly. It could tempt me to endure a flight..and wade with a short rod .. Simon Artley Manchester UK
hi although i no longer salmon fish due to disability im still very concerned about the salmon stocks im 60 years old now and when i was a kid i spent my summers going on the coastal boats with my father we fished for everything everywhere when ever we could and i caught some huge salmon dad had a policy of releasing female fish and most large salmon or the big breeders as he called them i have seen 50 plus pound salmon caught by commercial fisherman in labrador many times i have read everything i could find about salmon in this province and its really amazing that there are any left at all the big decline happened quickly in the 1800s as salmon canneries set up everywhere i could go on and on but ill get to the point of what i want to say we are always looking for things to blame for the loss of salmon and while overfishing and fish farms play a role in this we never talk much about solutions why dont we have a restocking program here as it has been done in the states with great success and of course what bill maynard has done at the torrent while it was a bit controversial as it led to more grilse and less big salmon it did work and the torrent is the go to river for grilse so i was very happy to see you talk about this subject i wonder if this has been discussed by dfo or the province is there any one out there who has info on this subject or how we could get the government to consider a restocking program
Honestly...i really get tired of these outrageous music themes....ALL OUTDOORS videos would be much better with NO MUSIC.....just my personal preference
Hi @mooseracks, thanks for watching. We enjoy the music that we select for our videos, but next season I’ll keep your comment in mind during the edit and see if we like it without music…You may be on to something.
I can't believe I have the honor of being the first to comment on this fabulous video. I'd give a king's ransom for a slice of that pie...if I had it. Thanks again for another great job. Well done.
What wonderful memories to have of your dad. A great video. As I watch this, I have memories of my father , Patrick Byrne (Micheal’s Uncle). My father also loved the outdoors and could also tell a story. I can remember my dad speaking very fondly of your father. Sincere Condolences to all the Byrne Family. Your dad had a wonderful life and a wonderful family Take Care, Carol Langthorne (Byrne)
So sorry for your loss Terry and family. Mick was a great man. I always loved visiting him at the camp and would sit and listen for hours. I always took comfort in knowing Mick was just across the brook as we grew up as cabin neighbors. Especially in later years as I went to the cabin alone. I had the pleasure of one last visit during the fall of 2022. My family and I just returned from 8 years living overseas and on this particular day we packed a lunch and drove our quad and sxs up the new road and made our way to all the places that were special to me as a kid. When we got to Star, your dad, Todd and a friend were out front on the deck relaxing. We chatted for a bit and I asked your dad if he would mind us having our lunch on the deck. Not only did he not mind, he put the kettle on and insisted we have a hot drink as well. He toured me through the new-to-me cabin and was very proud of all that was on display. At that time I was unaware of your dad's health issues and his memory of me as a little kid from across the brook was spot on. Only after I went outside and spoke with Todd was I made aware. Having said that, it was not present that day. I'm glad I got to visit on a good day. This video you all have as an everlasting memory is perfect. It captures the true Mick. May he now rest in peace. I will always remember him as a great outdoorsman and great story teller. Condolences to you all. Great work on your channel too by the way. Take care.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your story of Mick. We really appreciate it! Glad you had a nice visit with him, I'm sure he enjoyed it as much as you did.
My condolences on your Dad's passing. I grew up in Badger so was very familiar with the Exploits and have some knowledge of the hatchery. I never miss any of your videos that I am notified of. They are all equally incredible. This one was extra special, of course. Keep them coming, please.
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching and for the kind words. Michael was certainly an incredible man and a great role model for us in the salmon fishing world.
Love your videos, especially this one. I’ve done lots of fishing and some guiding on the Exploits thanks to Mr. Byrne. I always heard about the hatchery program and the rebirth of the Exploits. Now I know the history behind it. So sorry to hear of his passing.
