newfoundland plans

If we are gonna make this happen we are going to have to pick a date soon and confirm everyone that is going. i think we are going to need another boat and maybe a couple of 4-wheelers. Looking at sometime in June, Toby is gonna try to line up another guide for us so picking a date sooner than later will be alot easier to arraign. After the holidays we should get together and nail down a date.

Hey guys, here are the Pictures of my cabin at the area known as "Camp 12", approx 16 km's East of Hawkes Bay, NL. The cabin is located next to 2 very well known trout fishing lakes. It is approx 1/2 mile from Angle Pond and approx 3 miles from the Bluey Lake. Blue Lake is one of the largest lakes up here on the Northern pen and is very well known for BIG Trout. Will need a boat in order to fish any of these lakes, but I have that covered with a 16' lund that I bought this year. The roads are pretty rough getting into the area's, and may be a good idea to bring along a quad or two if you guys come in the spring. Can work out further details later and check on some possible dates. I am a licensed guide and am permitted to guide a party of 3 plus myself. I will check around over the winter and come up with someone else from the area who has a guide license as well. Just may have to feed the other guide food and liquor for a couple days.... ha. Lots of room at the camp as the entire upper level consists of sleeping quarters. Just may need to bring along sleeping bags and mattresses. The camp is 24 x 28 with a barn roof. Lower level consists of large kitchen and living room and bathroom. No running water, but have septic and generator for electricity. Just have to haul water in from nearby spring. I am actually thinking about applying for a spring bear license as well this year, so may be able to actually throw in a bear hunt along with the fishing!

JBFC Newfoundland Bound!

Last weekend during a trip to the camp Barrie informed us that his RCMP buddy, Toby, has invited us to come up to the "Rock" for a fish and some down home Newfoundland hospitality. We all said yes bye! Looks like we'll be heading up in June sometime. The cost will likely be in the 4 to $500 dollar range for those of us that will be driving. This would include, gas, ferry (both ways), booze, food, and fishing license. Camp sleeps 7 and we should have some pics of it soon. We'll post more details soon. Sounds wicked.

PS- Ryan, if you don't make it on this trip we're all disowning you!!!

stay thirsty my friends,

Bucksaw.

Ryan Nebogie - New Zealand

Ryan Nibogie took his hot girlfriend to NZ for 3 months to shag in a rented camper van and fish the mountain streams. No, this is not my dream! OK, it actually is.

It's spring time, the rivers are low and clear. He tried for a few days and eventually hired a guide. Ends up, while I wasn't exactly calling it right, suggesting shallow nymphing with zebra midges, as Phil and I did in Utah on the Green River, I was close. Guide recommended tungsten midges and sheep hair indicators. Sounds like Czech nymphing to me.

Check out the picture he sent me. I told him the next one better include his girlfrind in her bikini!

Nice job Ryan......you cheater!

Expensive JBFC, but something worth talking about. He wants to go back next year.

He got back to me on this post right away. Here's what he had to say.

"Did I mention that fish was 8lbs. Guide was showing us mouse imitations that work in a few weeks. Had this pic of a gutted brown with 9 mice in it. Crazy. Easiest fishing is now. The fish become extremely wary. Lets go for two weeks next yr."
