What More Can You Ask For?

Descending water level, cooler temperatures, full moon, high tides and, most important, "leapers" makes for a great week of Atlantic salmon fishing. River conditions as of July 27 are good on our stretch of the Miramichi River. We have really been seeing the salmon jump as they move up the river, and are inspired in knowing fresh fish are hitting the system again.

Since the water was so warm last week, we were thankful for several rainfalls which have cooled the river off a bit. With the river temperature now in the 60's, it will be very interesting to see the salmon and grilse return count at the end of the month. The river is full of fish and this is just July.  It really goes to show what a little hard work and conservation does to establish a healthier river system.

As we move into August the days begin to shorten and that means we're already gearing up for our fall season. Someone we admire, Joan Wulff, has wisely said, "The best cast is the one with the fly in the water." We agree, and hope you'll join us this fall!
