Miramichi Fishing Report
It has been another week of very high water which has literally put a damper on what is usually prime Fall angling time. As a result, there are generally few anglers inclined to even try to get on the water, if that is even possible in some areas. Some are fishing from boats. Yet there […]
As we move closer to mid September, water conditions are remaining on the high side, and could get even higher with the rain this week and possibly on the weekend. High water is generally making angling difficult, not only in getting to the rivers, but finding the fish which are moving and spread out all…

Well, there is certainly not shortage of water to worry about, and the high levels hopefully will entice the Fall runs to begin their journey. It is difficult to get a proper read on the number of fish in the system as they are not pooling and could be any where. They are not stopping. …

For August, the fishing is not bad, but over all, it is only fair. Fish are being seen, but not always in a taking mood. Some are being caught with most being dark, although there are small numbers of brights dribbling through the system. Most are hoping for a good Fall run which we did […]
There is still plenty of water in all of the rivers which is not making getting to the water an easy chore. However, this is a much better scenario for August than the traditional low and warm water of an usual August. At least it is good for the fish. There are not many fresh […]
For mid August, we certainly cannot complain about the lack of water and warm temperatures. The water is very high and temperatures are low. If not pleasant conditions for anglers, the fish are certainly enjoying them. Anglers are seeing fish, even though the catching is far from what anglers would like. The counting fences are […]
There is certainly lots of water in the system, which is a positive for the fish as August is often plagued by low water and warm temperatures. Even if the water height is a tad high in some places, it is generally fishable. There are decent numbers of fish being seen, but they are not […]
There is certainly lots of water to report this week, and the fishing is quite good surprisingly. MSA president and hatchery manager Mark Hambrook said the deluge we had this past weekend and the showers earlier this week have been a life-saver for the rivers and fish. August is usually a warm month and this […]
I’ll open with several positive statements this week. First, we did get some rain and some cooler temperatures. This resulted in DFO officially opening those pools that had been previously closed. This takes effect Thursday morning (today). (See official notice below.) There are also quite decent numbers of fish coming through the trap nets beginning […]
The big news this week is the closure of a large number of cold-water pools until conditions approve. As of Wednesday July 17 a list of closures are in affect until further notice. For the official version, please follow the link. A summarized version is below in the MSA newsletter. On the positive side, rain […]
Extremely hot weather last week has put the breaks on most angling as water levels dropped and temperatures soared. Any success anglers were having was mostly early morning at some cold water pools. The Trap net at Cassilis on the Northwest had a grilse Saturday, but none since, while Millerton on the Main Southwest was […]
