Fall Arrives, And So Do The Salmon!

When we look across the river and see the leaves changing from their healthy summer green to vivid shades of red, orange, and yellow, we know fall has arrived. We welcome the clean, crisp air and know the river will soon be full of salmon and eagerly anticipate the challenge of the fall run.

Fly patterns are similar to the foliage colors we enjoy here in New Brunswick: orange, red and different shades of brown. (Get your #8- 10 Bombers and Shrimp patterns ready when you come to see us in the fall!)

If you’ve fished with us previously, you know we have some of the best low water pools on the Miramichi River. September traditionally produces our largest salmon of the season. In fact, over the past three years the Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge record Atlantic salmon has been landed in September. And it could be you this year!

Check out last year’s winner, Paul Smith, here, and if you’re up for the challenge of beating that record, give us a call. We have some space available and are ready to share the glory of the New Brunswick fall with you.

Increase In Numbers Gives Hope To All

Inspired art etchings over 20,000 years ago?
An international symbol representing “wild?”
Mentioned in the Magna Carta?

The answer is “yes,” and our friends at the Miramichi Salmon Association explain how few fish have attracted as much attention throughout the ages as the Atlantic salmon.
We all know Atlantic salmon numbers have been down for the past few years, but this year salmon and grilse returns are catching up quickly with the final numbers of last year’s total return.

If you are an avid Atlantic salmon angler this is the year to experience the “Salmo salar.” Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge is very excited about the fall run of salmon, and we want you to experience this invigorating angling opportunity.

Conveniently located on the banks of the Miramichi River in New Brunswick, anglers visiting Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge can literally wake up, strap on their waders and begin fishing. The lodge offers private bedrooms with private baths, incredible meals and professional guides. We have received a four star rating from the Canadian grading authority.
