Presented By: Fish The Fly, FishHound Expeditions, Yellowstone Teton Territory,
We've had episodes on fly fishing the Gaspé Peninsula before: the famous rivers, active Atlantic salmon to the surface, and why it's a fantastic destination. But today, we're diving even deeper.
Andrew Murphy, longtime guide and now lodge owner at Gaspé Coastal, takes us into his home waters and shows us how diverse the fishery really is. You'll learn how to fish for salmon, stripers, and even sea-run brook trout, all on the same trip.
By the end of this one, you'll have the knowledge, and probably the itch, to book your Gaspé adventure. Let's go!
