Infographics are a rather cool mean to put together pieces of information in a fun, hence easy to memorize, way. And Fix.com is all about infographics. It is a strange and interesting project, actually: to gather useful tips about all sorts of common activities, and put them into a visually attractive format. Go have a look!
Here’s one about fly fishing:
Here’ comes the second part, for our pleasure!

Phil had predicted a storm and all we hoped was that he wasn’t wrong. After losing five salmons in a single day, we had a chance of redemption on the next day. The Falls, take two. So after a night of turning over in our beds we climbed in the van with small eyes and great ambitions. We came down the stairs, the water had lowered so much that a new step had appeared. The river was still dark but we had stopped trying to see the salmons. We knew where they were, now we had to get them to react. Phil won the first drop privilege and took place at the beginning of the pool, he made a first cast, then a second. Then we saw he wasn’t wrong.

Summer evenings, when all of a sudden the river is caught in a cloud of flies, when you don’t know anymore where to cast, when there is so much food on the water you have to make the difference so it’s your fly that is going to be eaten. When the air is warm, the gentle breeze carresses the water, just drag a little bit your fly, and it’ll be magical!
Fighting erosion, a man, alone is penting trees, and more trees. He planted a forest to fight what people thought was inevitable, and then life rose again. This film is a must! Let’s go and plant trees!
Walking up the trail, carrying your belly boat in your bag, then you arrive at last to the lake which is suppose to be “heaven” and because of little stupid things, like beeing tired, hungry, upset, the fishing doesn’t go that well. Then you get your act together, you are more than 100% dedicated to what you have to do, and everything comes smooth and easy. That’s fly fishing, we always have to be more than a 100% focused on what we are doing, that’s why we love it so much, there is no space for anything else.
The ocean is filled with plastic, thousands and thousands of remains that once were usefull and now are just garbage that will take thousand of years to degrade. Unless we all take part of it and pick up every little piece of platic we find. It might seem to be nothing but I’m sure if we all pick up plastic it’ll be a better world for our kids. And what about making some art with it or make usefull things?
When I was a kid, the cool dudes, the one that we would call hipsters a few decades later, would go skiing dressed up as if they were in the forties, and they use to ski this funny way which would make them kneel to take curves on the slopes, of course they would clib up and never us a lift, they were much too cool for that. Telemark was the way they called their skiing. Telemark is a region in Norway were you can hike the mountains and go for beautiful trout!

“ I don’t expect them to get very far.” Ron Bourdages’ words echoed through our blurry mind as we climbed aboard the Hooké Van after a solid film projection party at Cimes Adventures. We were quite a bit hangover, we had a gap in our driving shaft but all you could smell in the Hooké Van was confidence. We were on our way to Gaspé, to fish the Falls of the Dartmouth River, we had a lot to hope upon. We finally got installed and had a quiet night before leaving for the pool at dawn. Arrived on the spot, Phil and Fred had a nasty Rock-Paper-Scissors war. Victorious, Fred got the honour to make the first cast in the raging river. This is where everything started for us, when he lost his first salmon of three. This day will remain one of the craziest we’ve lived on a salmon river with all the salmons, good moments and failures it includes. We’re glad to present you with this first part and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Keep following us, the second part is coming very soon!”
