The Grand Cascapedia River is one of the most famous Atlantic salmon fishing rivers in the world for it has all the ingredients to take one on an unforgettable adventure.
If the river could talk, it would tell a thousand tales about the lives of the people who came to experience salmon fishing on its waters and about those who lived along its banks. It would brag about the largest salmon taken from its waters and about the rich and famous that escaped their busy lives to find an adventure waiting for them in the hidden forests of the Cascapedia Valley.
And yes it would tell us the story of a real Princess who fished there.
Louise was born a princess to Queen Victoria of England, who was one of the most formidable women in history She was blessed with beauty, intelligence and position. And she was a strong, independent woman of artistic temperament who had exquisite taste. Although controversial at times, she could never be faulted for hypocrisy or lack of human compassion. She can be best described as a gentle rebel, an artist and the most famous angler to have fished the Grand Cascapedia River, despite the fact that she was a woman in a sport dominated by men.
This was the cover story that I wrote for the Classic Angling Magazine in England.
