Was this a recurring sketch that featured John Candy as a fisherman who hung
out at a fishing lodge with a group of musicans?  And in between fishing,
the musicians would perform a song or two?

I recall an episode where Robert Gordon was hanging out at the lodge.  It
was cool to see/hear him perform Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday, Someway".

As an aside, I think around the same (early 80's) NBC's Tom Snyder began
hosting music acts on his late night show.  I remember seeing The Ramones,
The Jam, Adam and the Ants, U2 and the infamous Plasmatics perform on his
show.  I think that for most of these groups, his show offered them their
first US appearance on TV.  At the time, I thought he enjoyed having these
acts on, but in later interviews, old Tom stated that the network brass
pushed the acts on him in a failed attempt to boost ratings with the college
crowd.
