ASF Auction Winners

Bill Donald of Chatam, New Brunswick, used the private fishing waters auction item he won at the 2008 Atlantic Salmon Museum’s Spring Salmon Fling fundraising dinner on August 16 at Miramich Black Rapids Lodge.

MBR donated two rods over one day, fully-guided fishing trip on our private pools on the Miramichi River. Bill brought his friend, 2007 winner Bill MacKinnon, of Doaktown as his guest.
The morning of the 16th was one of the coolest we’ve had since the spring, and there was lots of fog on the river. While the water is higher than typical August levels, the salmon were still jumping. Daryll Curtis guided both men all day, and the weather turned out perfect as the day progressed.

”The fishing could not have been any better than it was today,” said Daryll, when they returned to the lodge for dinner that evening. They experienced the joy of salmon rolling all around them and spent the evening sharing fish tales with big smiles on their faces.

Limited space is still available for the legendary Atlantic salmon fall run on the Miramichi River. The Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge is well regarded as the finest low water salmon pools on the southwest Miramichi River. Fishing conditions for the 2008 season have been exceptional, and the fall run is setting up to be one that Atlantic salmon anglers will not want to miss.
