So sorry for your loss Terry and family. Mick was a great man. I always loved visiting him at the camp and would sit and listen for hours. I always took comfort in knowing Mick was just across the brook as we grew up as cabin neighbors. Especially in later years as I went to the cabin alone. I had the pleasure of one last visit during the fall of 2022. My family and I just returned from 8 years living overseas and on this particular day we packed a lunch and drove our quad and sxs up the new road and made our way to all the places that were special to me as a kid. When we got to Star, your dad, Todd and a friend were out front on the deck relaxing. We chatted for a bit and I asked your dad if he would mind us having our lunch on the deck. Not only did he not mind, he put the kettle on and insisted we have a hot drink as well. He toured me through the new-to-me cabin and was very proud of all that was on display. At that time I was unaware of your dad's health issues and his memory of me as a little kid from across the brook was spot on. Only after I went outside and spoke with Todd was I made aware. Having said that, it was not present that day. I'm glad I got to visit on a good day. This video you all have as an everlasting memory is perfect. It captures the true Mick. May he now rest in peace. I will always remember him as a great outdoorsman and great story teller. Condolences to you all. Great work on your channel too by the way. Take care.

What wonderful memories to have of your dad. A great video. As I watch this, I have memories of my father , Patrick Byrne (Micheal’s Uncle). My father also loved the outdoors and could also tell a story. I can remember my dad speaking very fondly of your father. Sincere Condolences to all the Byrne Family. Your dad had a wonderful life and a wonderful family Take Care, Carol Langthorne (Byrne)

Thank you, we appreciate that you took the time to watch it.

My condolences on your Dad's passing. I grew up in Badger so was very familiar with the Exploits and have some knowledge of the hatchery. I never miss any of your videos that I am notified of. They are all equally incredible. This one was extra special, of course. Keep them coming, please.

Sorry for your loss. Great video. I remember as a kid, hearing of the stocking of the rivers. His legacy is at the end of those tight lines. Cheers.

You're so right! Thank you for watching and for the comment.

Love your videos, especially this one. I’ve done lots of fishing and some guiding on the Exploits thanks to Mr. Byrne. I always heard about the hatchery program and the rebirth of the Exploits. Now I know the history behind it. So sorry to hear of his passing.
