Author's Note
Ah, the Bonaventure River... True to form, when I wake up in the morning I admire it and carefully observe the color it reflects. It's inspiring and helps me create the fly of the day. So, one morning in September 2003, I tied that fly and it was to bring me two catches in two days, a beautiful male of about fifteen pounds in the Upper Rock pit in full afternoon sun and another of about eight pounds in the Salmon pit just after sunset.
