My name is Cole Hussey and I am 13 years old from Ingonish, Cape Breton, NS. This year I am going to Newfoundland on a salmon fishing trip as a grading present, and I can’t wait. (The deal was if I had a 90 average or better, then I’d get this trip.)

My parents and I are scheduled to stay at Torrent River Inn with Bill Maynard July 7-14. Torrent River was in one of your shows about fishing around Hawke’s Bay, and Mr. Maynard is arranging for a fishing guide for us.

My mother called your Sportsman office for recommendations on good places to stay and fish, and this was one of the places mentioned. She was also told that Gord and Dwight would be staying and fishing there around the same time. I hope to meet them there.

I tie all my own flies and I would like to get some new patterns. I can’t wait to meet the Sportsman guys.

I am so excited; I hope this letter makes sense.

I really enjoy watching your television show, with special interest in the rabbit and moose hunting adventures.

I just wanted to mention something that might put a new twist on things to spark more interest from your viewers. I love watching as you land some of those big Labrador trout, but I would also enjoy a show on how a fella walks half an hour off the TCH and lands a catch of pan size trout for supper, or maybe a story on a guy who shot his first moose, so I can just sit back and listen to his excitement as he describes it first hand.

Here's one for you... I long for the fall of the year again to get my two-year old beagle back into the woods, and I just happened to have him in the house one Sunday for a nice warm meal of liver, moose and gravy, when one of your rabbit hunting shows came on.

So here is my dog Joe laid out on the carpet, half asleep, when all of a sudden on the show, one of Gord's dogs opened up on a bunny.

I turned up the volume and Joe jumped up and started running around the house, howling his head off. My daughter Rebecca came out of her room and couldn’t believe what he was doing.

This scene repeated itself each time your dogs had a start, and ended when you fired. A great laugh for both of us. I wished I had taped it.

As you can see by my change of address notice for my subscription to your magazine, I have now joined many other Newfoundlanders and Labradorians here in the Edmonton area of Alberta.

My wife and I have discussed moving here for years and I have had opportunities to move in the past, but the time was right now. My company has provided us with a good opportunity to move here, and as hard as it is to be away from everything and everyone in Newfoundland, my family and I are looking forward to our new challenge here. We also look forward to spending lots of time in the outdoors here like we did at home.

You guys are doing a fantastic job with the magazine (as always) and the television show. Now, 10:30 a.m. on Sundays is my time to watch you guys. I look forward to your upcoming Season 3 DVDs; they will join my seasons one and two in regular rotation in my DVD player.

As well, all of my back issues (all the way back to 1990) are on their way here, as I always enjoy reading the back issues.

Keep up the great work.

Just writing to tell you how much my boyfriend, Bryan Soper, and I enjoy your program and magazine. You’re doing a great job and keep up the good work.

It’s a pleasure to sit back and watch your show on Sundays. This past May 24th weekend, Bryan caught a 17-inch brook trout in Long Pond, Swift Current where our cabin is located. He was so proud. I got a picture of it, and was wondering how to go about maybe getting it published in a coming issue of your magazine?

We our lovers of the outdoor and its great to catch a photo of some of our adventures. Thanks so much for your time, and all the best in the future.
