Breaking Ice

At last! The ice is breaking up and we are so close to getting on the water we can almost taste it. The spring run fishing is done from small boats, fully guided. If the water levels recede enough, wading is an option. Either way, the fish are migrating back to the ocean after spending the winter spawning under ice; even though they might weigh up to 20 pounds, they're still hungry and ready to take flies!

Our regular customers are booked and prepping for their stays, and we're looking for new 2009 guests we can soon call "regulars." We realize fly fishing for Atlantic salmon isn't common in most parts of the world, so here's a suggestion that might get you thinking.

Corporate executives are falling for fly fishing now more than ever. Fly Fishing is a clever way to build business relationships. Provide clients with something a little different than a round of golf, or take your staff through a different kind of team building exercise while learning a new skill and building camaraderie.

Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge provides guides, equipment and exceptional customer service, making it an ideal setting for corporate groups, incentive or rewards trips, or as a planning retreat.

We are running several booking specials - it's great time to trade in your business suit for a pair of waders.

Salmon Stimulus Package

Looking for an incentive to book an Atlantic salmon fishing trip in New Brunswick? Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge has a "stimulating" opportunity for you! Book a trip for 4 at regular rates and you come for 1/2 price! While the river is still iced over and thaw is a few weeks off, the season's official start is April 15, and our guides are ready to get you on the water. Dates are available the second and third weeks of May, and into the summer months.

Imagine an action-packed day on the mighty Miramichi, followed by a relaxed evening enjoying libations and our famous cheese bread - either inside the lodge or on the banks of the river around the fire pit. Regardless of the setting, the story swapping (and truth stretching!) doesn't get any better.

Call Katherine Hughes at (800) 281-7991 or email brslodge@westervelt.com for more information.

disclaimer: 3 guests must book at regular price in order for 4th guest to receive 1/2 price on regularly published day rates. Discount applies only to day rates; all other costs remain unchanged.
