Fishing With Hoagy

Avid fisherman and author Hoagy Bix Carmichael talks about his love of the Grand Cascapedia, a river on Canada’s Atlantic seaboard that has a rich history, not to mention enormous salmon.

The Grand Cascapedia River, on the Atlantic coast of Canada, boasts some of the best sport fishing in the world. Its salmon stocks are in great shape and people pay big money for permits to fish there. Hoagy Bix Carmichael, son of the singer-songwriter of the same name, fell in love with the Cascapedia River. Carmichael took producer Bob Carty fly fishing and talked about the river’s unusual history and of concerns for its future.
