| Atlantic Salmon Fishing All anglers must have a valid Atlantic salmon license and tags (available
at the Lodge) to fish for sea-run salmon. Fishing on the Miramichi river must be done with
a fly rod only. The Atlantic salmon season runs from April 15 to October 15. Brook trout
can also be caught from May 1 to September 15.
 |
Because of the high water from run-offs, salmon
spring fishing (April 15 to May 15), is traditionally done from a boat with one guide per
angler. During this period, angling is not restricted to the home pools and therefore,
every stretch of the river can be fished. |
The salmon are now ready to run downstream back to the sea
and are hungry to take your fly.
| In the summer and fall, all angling guests are
restricted to our home waters. We own or have the rights to approximately one half mile of
private water where each medium sized pool has a natural small stone bottom that even the
timid can wade. |

This is the time when the salmon returns from the sea with
the largest runs in July and September. During the summer/fall season, we provide one
guide per three anglers.
Atlantic Salmon fishing on the Miramichi is unequaled
