Miramichi, New Brunswick

I was travelling around New Brunswick last week and spent an afternoon driving up the Miramichi Valley, Canada's equivalent to the Tweed in the salmon fishing world. So I thought I would post a pic of one of the salmon fishing lodges in Doaktown, a village in the centre of the valley, to see if I can tempt Pete there some time. After all, what does a man do when he's fished the Kola Peninsula?? I had a look around the lodge (in typically Maritime fashion, there was no-one there when I visited, but they had left the door open and wouldn't have minded me having a peek...) and it looks very comfortable and is right on the banks of the river. Check it out without the snow at http://www.ledgesinn.com/ I also called in at the most famous salmon fishing shop in the country: W.W.Doak (www.wwdoak.com )...Pop Jim would have loved the place! New Brunswick is still deep in snow - on the coast road I was sometimes driving between banks of snow 8-10 feet high on either side. And here in Toronto, Gibson discovered how sticky the spring snow is when he returned from a romp in the park with snowballs amusingly attached to his undercarriage! It took a warm bath and howls of embarrassment to de-ball him...
