What had been a booklet collection of stories from the Grand Cascapedia River, has turned into a book of forgotten tales from the river that runs through my home town. The Grand Cascapedia is a river where great fishing stories are told. But here on this fabled river that runs through the forested mountains of the Cascapedia Valley, there are also the stories about the people who made their way to this beautiful river. This is a collection of intriguing stories about some of Cascapedia’s richest and most interesting anglers. It includes the untold story of a real princess who just happened to be Queen Victoria’s daughter and why she kept some secrets to herself about her time on the river. There is also the story of a very rich fisherman who was found shot at his fishing camp on the river…who pulled the trigger? What angler from one of the richest families in America bought a camp on the river and also bought Amelia Earhart a plane to fly across the Atlantic? What tragedy happened to the richest man in Canada while on the Cascapedia? What fisherman inspired Ian Fleming to write the best-selling book called Goldfinger, that was later turned into a movie starring Sean Connery as James Bond, agent 007. And who told the biggest fishing story that may or may not have been true… you get to decide! #grandcascapediariver #cascapediariver #cascapedia #salmonfishing #atlanticsalmon #flyfishing #cascapediasociety #forgottenstories #salmon #book #amazon #kindle #read #availablenow #writer #simplelife #richandfamous #jamesbond #princesslouise #ameliaearhart #outdoorliving #cascapediastjules #maggiesinn #gaspecoaststories
