Nova Scotia Reels In Popular Fishing TV Show

Nova Scotia sportfishing is once again garnering international attention. The popular show The New Fly Fisher is in Cape Breton this week filming an episode on summer salmon fishing in the Margaree River.

“Anglers from all over know that if you want to fly fish for Atlantic salmon, the Margaree River is a great place to go,” said Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister Steve Craig. “Nova Scotia has built a reputation for providing among the best and most accessible sportfishing experiences in the world – and we’re thrilled to see The New Fly Fisher showcase that to their audience.”

The New Fly Fisher is broadcast to millions of households across Canada and the United States on PBS, Sportsman Channel Canada and the World Fishing Network and by broadcasters in Poland, Switzerland, France and Russia. Episodes are also posted online to The New Fly Fisher’s YouTube channel, where they are available on demand to audiences all over the world.

The show visited the Margaree River in 2014 during the fall salmon run. The episode aired in October 2015. The new episode will focus on dry fly fishing, in which the lure floats on the surface of the water, for Atlantic salmon.

At a time when disease pressure continues to challenge pork production systems across the United States, vaccination remains one of the most valuable and heavily debated tools available to veterinarians and producers.

Speaking at the 2025 Four Star Pork Industry Conference in Muncie, Indiana, Dr. Daniel Gascho, veterinarian at Four Star Veterinary Service, encouraged the industry to return to fundamentals in how vaccines are selected, handled and administered across sow farms, gilt development units and grow-finish operations.

Gascho acknowledged at the outset that vaccination can quickly become a technical and sometimes tedious topic. But he said that real-world execution, not complex immunology, is where most vaccine failures occur.
