Think you have these Miramichi Atlantic Salmon figured

Posted by Keith on 28 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Miramichi River Report

Just when you think you have these Miramichi River Atlantic Salmon figured out we are once again proved wrong. The fishing has been slow all week on low and clear water with a few fresh-run salmon taken and seeing plenty of jumpers. Thursday morning was dead, then Thursday evening Arthur R. & Doug H. [...]

The fresh run fall salmon are here. Reports from the estuary and on up to McNamee are most encouraging. Mark Betts lucked out on his private pool in Doaktown with several fish like this one in the 8- 14 pound range, and all were bright and fresh from the ocean. Wilson’s began picking [...]

This is what we are talking about, a beautiful 30 lb hen salmon taken by Doug Schlink ( guide John Robinson ) September 2004. The Miramichi at present is still at normal water height with plenty of fish in the pools and the rain we are getting today is a welcome site too. [...]

As seen here in this Sept 18th photo, the Miramichi River has some huge salmon ready to take the fly. Though we think many fish are sulking around waiting for a raise in water some anglers are still lucky enough to hook into a real trophy like this 30 pound hen. Even without a raise [...]

The water is getting down but we are still seeing tons of fish, mostly the old summer run so they are taking tough right now. There still appears to be fish on the move in the mornings but few fresh ones to date. A raise of water is needed to perk things up. Rain [...]

The Miramichi is full of fish

Posted by Keith on 08 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Miramichi River Report

The Miramichi is full of fish but they are not taking well this week. The river is clear and cool and a little low, but not too low for fish to move on. DFO are reporting a good number of fish slowly making their way into the system and suggest that the river height [...]
