#26. Spent most of the time guiding but got 1 grilse at the Pine Tree Pool on the Renuse - BBBH #6 Hitched

August 1993 N.W. Miramichi:

#27 through 37.

To include 4 large Salmon hooked, two landed and two lost. One memorable Salmon was at Sam's. Carl Andersen showed me how to fish the pool before lunch. After we had eaten under a screened-in tent, I went out to try the pool. Starting from the top with a wet, I rose a fish on my second cast. Trying more casts in the same location (with just my leader out) I could not get the fish to come again. Switching to a better position up on the side of a big rock I chose a big bomber. After two or three casts, the big guy came, engulfed the fly, and the fight was on. Two leaps and two nice runs later, I worked him in against a lot of pressure and as Byron approached with the net, I decided it would be better to break the beautiful beast off and did so by holding the leader while he shook his mighty head. This, of course, happened while Phoebe Weeks, Carl Andersen, Byron (our guide to be at Adams), and Don (our guide from Dam) watched from the screened-in picnic table.

Dad and I went up early in the week then Bill Brower and Leon came up followed the next day by Pat O. and his two boys. The only fish caught were brook trout. Dad and I did a lot of exploring. The North Branch of Renous at the Buggy Pool and we found a grilse in a small stream while trout fishing. The rivers closed because of low warm water and have not reopened to date.
