Happy New Brunswick Day

Happy New Brunswick Day!

The Southwest Miramichi River below the Black Rapids pool has been high for most of the summer. The river temperature has been consistent for the last week in the low to mid 50's (F), and the springs coming into the river are a surprising 46 degrees.

Have you taken advantage of our summer and fall specials and now you're counting down the days until you travel? Here's a way to whet your appetite for Atlantic salmon fishing even more ... follow the river conditions on our website any time of the day or night. .

Even though the river conditions were not in his favor, a current guest and his guide covered a lot of water, allowing him to catch and release a 9-pound grilse and a really nice 18-pound salmon. Because we're seeing a lot of salmon jumping, we keep trying to determine what they're "hungry for." Seems we're getting good rolls on different flies such as the shady lady, green machine white tail, and of course our time-tested black bear green butt.

With the still young and the river up and running, canoeing and kayaking are fantastic options for non-angling guests. Local New Brunswick tourism is a "must" when traveling to Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge, and we're happy to help you experience as much of our friendly province as possible.
