In 1968, he accepted a position with the Department of Natural Resources in Fredericton, NB, in the Fish and Wildlife Branch. He continued his career until his retirement in 1992. Mal was an avid sportsman. He was very educated in regards to the Atlantic Salmon and native brook trout and handled more Atlantic Salmon in his line of work than one can imagine. He spent a lot of time in the woods and on the waters here in New Brunswick. Many people still remember his name. He tied flies for over 60 years, collected vintage tackle and was a very skilled wood carver of fish, ducks and shore birds. Mal also hunted birds but his true passion was Salmon fishing.
