They Come From All Over

Where are they coming from, and what are they catching?


May was a fun month at Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge. The water continued to drop as things started to bud out in bright green foliage.

We really enjoyed our new guests this month, who visited us from all over North America.

Paul, from Massachusetts, has been fishing with us for several years now and enjoyed his four-day stay. He caught and released two excellent adult salmon.

Two brothers from Maine got their feet wet fishing for Atlantic salmon for the first time. We had a couple from west Alabama who stopped through on their tour of the Atlantic provinces to fish for Atlantic salmon at Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge. It was nothing like fishing for largemouth bass, to which they’re accustomed, though they each caught and released several adult salmon. Along with Alabama, Maine, and Massachusetts we had a young couple from Florida who were full of energy.



As May wrapped up another group of clients from Alabama had some great luck with the sea run trout and other species that make their home in the Miramichi River. Lo and behold, on their last day they had bright salmon sighting.

As the guide said "It nearly jumped in the boat with us."
