To say the least I was a bit star struck upon picking up my Clients from the Helicopter pad yesterday. I've always been a huge hockey fan and from a young age most Canadian Boys are born with a pair of hockey skates on their feet. I was no different and upon discussion with Hendik I made him well aware that if we were playing hockey he better keep his head up while crossing my blue line. Needless to say, he though I was pretty funny.
It didn't take long for me to settle in, get these boys dialed in and find my grove. The hum of fly reels screaming at points was almost overwhelming. I'm glad I brought an extra fly fishing guide with me this day. Lets just say his net saw lots of Salmon. As the day progressed I noticed the boys were struggling to keep there rod tips up and my voice rang out "keep your tips up boys, don't get soft on me now!". I felt as if I were the coach of the Detroit Red Wings for a day and they were not going to forget this practice ever.
Both Henrik Zetterberg and Jonathan Ericsson we very fast learners and within minutes of our professional fly fishing instruction, they were on Salmon all day long. The Detroit Red Wings captain brought along some muscle in the form of Equipment managers Brady Munger and John Remejes. I could tell these boys were just as excited as I was to be here. It felt good to be part of some old school hockey banter. This was one of those days these boys will never forget. I have a feeling they may have skipped hockey practice the next day due to soar arms from reeling on Salmon.
I live in a very special place within Canada. Where the Rivers are over run with Salmon and Wildlife is abundant in every direction. At any given point this day, you could see a minimum of 6 Bald Eagles in each tree. The water was Crisp and the Salmon were biting. Enjoy some of the Best Salmon Fly Fishing in Canada and the World.
