A trout spotted natural of 4 lb 2 one. a beautiful palette as one says at home.

I know that several Métis of Quebec have the beautiful holds that should be on this page, then, lingered not and made them reach us accompanied of a text, and we will put it on the site.

So sometimes you also go merely to the sporty fishing to take a hold that will make your pride, the trophy that you will share with your friends, there is in Pulaski in the state of New York in the river Salmon River that throws himself then in the Ontario lake, will have of it to you for your money. This river is all year round open but, according to me the best time to go there is in the beginning of November when the big salmon Chinook goes up the river to deposit his eggs there.

This river is considered like one the best to the world, one recovers the brown trout, of the salmon coho, the stellhead there and of other interesting species as for example the famous salmon Chinook as you see on the photo, a chinook of 39 lb. And of 36 inches of long, for us it is a beautiful hold but the Salmon River it is respectable but one little there to take the Chinook approaching the 100 lb, for this reason that he deserves the King Salmon. If you want more information on this river, to communicate with me by lemetis@metisquebec.com courriel and he will give me pleasure to provide you the information that you want.

The King Salmon fishes itself from the beginning November, this beautiful river is from all over the world the place of meeting of the experienced fly fishing, and also, of the fishers who like fished to the spoon. He is not more dispendieux to go to the fishing in Pulaski that to go on suppliers of Quebec. Me pence that it is an experience to live, an experience that one doesn't forget.

When the Chinook goes back the river to this period of the year, it is of black color a true black like a walls up and, left of the river once one notices his color that passes the black to the silvered gray easily as one recovers it in the big Ontario lake before his/her/its gone up in river.

Attention this pretty nanny is not indeed in plush, it is the biggest black bear that I see, merely to look at him the head magpie one wonders if one would like indeed to meet a face-to-face of it in a calm trail in drills. This beautiful hold also comes from the north of St.-Michel-Des-Saints, close to the the Atichamek reserve of Manouan. This nanny was dejected to the bow by Norman Samson of the Clan Samson, Norman is a specialist of hunt to the bow and this for all types of big game.

After having been fatally by an arrows, the majestic cub demonstrated to this moment an enormous anger let to some escaped of the incredible howlings, the reafter him it lie down to soil to breathe his last. One uses the grease of the bear to wash the head once per year is sufficient, what is excellent for the scalp. One also uses it to rub the boots or other types of shoes the winter because, this grease is an excelling protective for water and the calcium.
