Surrounded by wilderness near the town of Main Brook, Newfoundland, a man casts his fly fishing line into the waters of the Salmon River. The river is fairly high and moves at a decent pace as it meanders its way around large boulders and is home to some of the best Atlantic Salmon around the Newfoundland region.
During the salmon run, which is usually at its best in the month of July, you can see salmon breaching all over the river, but trying to catch one on the end of your fly fishing line is a skill of its own. The rivers around Newfoundland, Canada have about ten to twelve thousand Atlantic Salmon that return every year which makes the population plentiful for every man and woman who partake in fly fishing. Until you learn all the proper techniques of fly fishing, be patient and hope that luck is on your side.
