This year, the Blind Anglers International Tournament had to be cancelled due to accommodation difficulties, but the Town Where the Rivers Meet is increasingly recognized as a destination for blind fishers.
Arnprior was last September featured on an eposide of Get Hooked, filmed in the community last September.
Blind angler Dave Furgoch, alongside Rick Klatt and fellow community members, cast their lines for catfish at hte confluence of the Madawaska and Ottawa Rivers, and the episode debuted last week during National Accesibility Week.
The episode showcases how people who are blind experience the outdoors through sound, touch, and intuition, and proved that patience pays.
Viewers can still catch the episode on the Get Hooked series by visiting. https://ow.ly/gjVG50W1SC7
