We don’t have a picture of the fish but you can tell by the smile on the faces of these two guy’s that they had a good night on the Miramchi . Joel A ( guide Karl Wilson) landed a beautiful 42 inch hen last night . She was fresh from the ocean and still had sea lice . The water levels are perfect, the temperature is perfect and we are seeing more fish each day . On one pool yesterday morning there were over a dozen fish sighted , but moving straight through without touching a fly. (more…)

Atlantic salmon fly-fishing conditions for the Miramichi River at McNamee July 11th . The water is slowly getting back to normal in height and good temps are holding . The air temperature is getting up into the high 20′s but with all the water we have in the brooks and small feeder streams I don’t think we have to worry about the river warming up too much just yet .

Atlantic Salmon fly-fishing conditions on the Miramichi River at McNamee on July 28th . As you can see from this mornings picture , we are once again blessed with the perfect weather . The river is up app 4 inches above normal and it is raining lightly with air temps in the low 20′s . These conditions are exactly what Atlantic salmon love , the fish are spread throughout the system and when the river does warm up they can easily find plenty of cold water to retreat to . One angler landed a beautiful fresh run salmon last night in a pool that is not typical for late July . These are the occasions when a good guide like Joe Stewart can make the difference for you , Joe knew exactly where to cast to in that pool , he said “if there is a fresh fish in this pool , he will be right there , if not we won’t waste our time here ” Most of the fish are getting a little dark now but still very lively . We are not seeing as many fish these last ten days as we did in mid July but again this is a sign that the fish are spread out well up and down the river . The three favorite flys have been the green machine w/white tail , glitter bear and green widow .
