Raul Malo, whose operatic, lush lead vocals led the eclectic musical group The Mavericks, died Monday (Dec.
at age 60 following a battle with cancer.
"At 8:52 pm on December 8th, 2025, my love... our boys' father... a devoted son and brother... and a friend to so many, gained his angel wings," Betty Malo, the musician's wife, wrote in a statement posted on Malo's official Facebook page Tuesday (Dec. 9). "He was called to do another gig - this time in the sky - and he's flying high like an eagle. No one embodied life and love, joy and passion, family, friends, music, and adventure the way our beloved Raul did. Now he will look down on us with all that heaven will allow, lighting the way and reminding us to savor every moment. Dino, Victor, Max and I - along with our entire family - thank all of you for your love and support through all of this. We felt every bit of it.In Raul's own words: 'Muchísimas gracias.'"

The Gravel Bar / Re: Quebec on the Brain
Last post by driver - December 07, 2025, 09:19:51 AMThe problem with Quebec, is that there is sooooo much water. And not all of that water is productive, and there won't be any info on that water. Guides are your best bet until you learn the lay of the land. Getting around is tough was well as the are not many roads once you head north. Float planes are the norm. There are several rail lines that will drop you off in the absolute middle of no where.
I fished a river near Lac Edouard in July one year. Beautiful stretch of river between two lakes, plunges, runs, pools. Didn't catch a thing. Spoke with the guide at the lodge, and he said the brookies move out of the rapids and into the lakes in the summer and the only way to catch them is trolling spinners.

The Gravel Bar / Quebec on the Brain
Last post by Onslow - December 07, 2025, 07:18:29 AMMore than twice the size of TX
Almost the size of Alaska
Much closer to home
Land of lakes, rivers, bogs and extreme whitewater
The Laurentian highlands are as expansive as NC/SC
Char and Atlantic Salmon runs in the north
Brook trout, striper, and the usual YP, Walleye, SMB elsewhere.
Low hanging fruit close to home.
Seeing the massive cataracts and falls on the Caniapiscau would be interesting, but probably deadly. It's a pity the great falls of the Churchill river have been diverted for energy used.
Another south slope St. Lawrence tributary.
I'm going within the next 10 years. Not sure where, but I'm doing an extended river trip.

Local Trip Reports / Re: Smith-Continued
Last post by OldKent - December 05, 2025, 20:21:30 PMI would love to hear what Mr. Palmer's thoughts were on the health of the Smith if anyone could share. As an aside, I was able to fish it a couple of weeks ago, and like mentioned above, I was surprised at how "green-murky" it still is; usually by this time of year it is fishing relatively clear. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Holiday season!
