Sault Ste. Marie, ON (June 2, 2017) . Brad Jacobs put down his curling broom and rock last week to show
off his fishing and golfing skills for the television series Fins & Skins Classic Adventures. Set to air in the fall,
the episode pits the local curling skip against show host and former CFL all]star Henry Waszczuk. The pair
went steelhead fishing on the St. Maryfs River, then battled it out during a round at the Sault Golf Club.
gIt was a great day, especially the fishing,h said Jacobs, whose curling team took home gold at the 2014
Winter Olympics. gI havenft been fishing in years, but it brought back some great memories of fishing with
my dad when I was a kid. It was my first time fly fishing, and it was an awesome experience. Thanks to Henry
Waszczuk and the Fins & Skins crew and Brad Hodkinson from Soo North Fly Shop for the opportunity.h
Fins & Skins airs on TSN and Global TV in Canada, along with the World Fishing Network and Fox Sports in
