Fit To Be Tied

In just 22 days Atlantic Salmon season will begin in New Brunswick. We're so excited we can hardly stand it. Our lodge is still asleep beneath snow and ice, but as soon as the thaw begins we'll have lots of work to do to prepare for our first guests.

In the meantime, we'd like to know what our guests and fans are doing to countdown to the opening of the season. Have you packed and repacked your bags, ensuring your gear is in tip-top shape? Or are you taking inventory of your fly box, ensuring your flies are top-rate and ready for your first cast into the Miramichi River?

David McPhail ties flies in Scotland, and graciously agreed to us posting this video of several of his Atlantic salmon flies. You can find more of David's detailed tying videos via his channel on YouTube.



Do you like to tie your own flies? Have you ever caught an Atlantic salmon at Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge? We'd love to hear about it! Send us your story: any pictures or video would be greatly appreciated. We'll enter you in a drawing for an MBR "swag basket."
