Hi this is Greg! I am up in Quebec, flyfishing for Atlantic Salmon with Quebec Sporting. This is a picture of my first Atlantic Salmon on the York River. I have more pictures and will share them as available. I caught this fish in the afternoon and had been casting over fresh fish 30 – 40 lb. all day. There were plenty of fish and am returning there now . Jeremy will add a link in this article so you can see my first bright fish. He is about 15lb plus and put up a great fight. As soon as I figure out the mechanics of getting my own pics on I’ll put them up. Great guides and some of the most beautiful water i haveseen anywhere. The guides name is gary and is holding my fish on the York . check out the pics on the site.

I am so glad you got that fish! Looks like a beautiful river to catch the best kind of fish in the world. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Did he jump? What did he take? How did he taste (just kidding) …. Catch some more – and post some better photos when you can!!! Let us know how you continue to do!
Good for you Greg.. The atlantic salmon has been called the fish of a thousand cast. Think Hemingway said that.( Course he probably had a thousand bourbons between cast) Look forward to hearing the details.
Tight lines
Looks like fun…Good luck with the rest of your trip.
What are the psychological effects of the first fish on the human brain? Just fooling great fish enjoy!
Greg
That looks like one great fish. How about including you holding the fish. Those are your memories, so hold the fish and smile.
