Miramichi Fishing Report

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, September 3, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / September 3, 2015 /

We’ve turned another page of the calendar as we move to September, and for anglers that means looking forward to some of the season’s best angling as we anticipate the “Fall Runs”.  Personally, I enjoy September fishing the most with the cooler days and Fall foliage. As we move into the ninth month there is…

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, August 27, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / August 27, 2015 /

Conditions have not really changed much since last week, so I’ll make another general evaluation of conditions.  Water conditions continue to be low and warm, with only an odd fish being caught perhaps in camp waters.  Very few local anglers are out and many outfitters have cancelled their guests until conditions improve. The 23 cold-water…

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, August 20, 2015

Angling had been decent to quite good last weekend until Sunday when the heat wave struck.  Since then, there has been very little angling and even less catching.  So this week, I’ll make one general statement that will basically cover the whole system. [wp_bannerize group=”doug1″] The water is low and very warm, which has prompted…

Angling was generally slower than last week, but we are moving into the “Dog-Days of August” and still there are fish in the system and a few fresh coming in daily, so all in all, it is positive.  Rain Tuesday night and Wednesday should help freshen the system.

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, August 6, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / August 6, 2015 /

Angling was a bit slower this past week due to warm temperatures.  However, there are good numbers of fish around, but just not taking well.  Every day there are more fresh fish entering the system giving us so far quite a good year.  If we get Fall runs that follow this trend, we could have…

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, July 30, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / July 30, 2015 /

Like last week, we have another very positive report this week.  Almost every part of the river system is reporting very good numbers of fish in the system.  However, the fish are not taking as well as many anglers would like, or if they do, they are taking short as they are on the move. …

This week’s report is very positive.  After the end of the heat last week and several rainy days this week, water conditions have improved.  There has been a general raise of water any where from 6 to 14 inches, and temperatures are down to the low 60s Fahrenheit.  And, there are fish!

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, July 16, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / July 16, 2015 /

The big news this week is the weather with the early part of this week being a scorcher.  As a result, fishing slowed almost to a stop as the water warmed and dropped to low levels.  A bit of rain Wednesday was welcome, but it was only a drop when buckets are needed. [wp_bannerize group=”doug1″]…

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, July 9, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / July 9, 2015 /

It has been said that “slow and steady wins the race”.  Let us hope so as our salmon and grilse numbers continue to improve with each passing week.  There are fresh fish coming into the system each day, and in numbers that are an improvement over last year.  Generally anglers are seeing fish and catching…

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, July 2, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / July 2, 2015 /

After last year, any positive results are welcome, and that is what we have in a manner of speaking.  There is not a great run on, but there are spurts of fish coming in every day.  Suffice it to say there has certainly been an improvement over this time last year, and let’s hope the…

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, June 25, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / June 25, 2015 /

This past week, like the one before, saw slight increases in the number of grilse and salmon coming into the system.  There certainly is no great run on, but numbers are cautiously optimistic compared to last year.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this trend continues. Doug White’s Tammerack Sports Fly Shop in Juniper said…

Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, June 18, 2015

By Giv'er Miramichi / June 18, 2015 /

Angling showed an improvement this week.  As Syd Matchett says, “When the Yellow-Butterflies are back, so are the Salmon”, and I did see a couple of Yellow Butterflies myself this past week.  There were more reports of salmon and even a few grilse being caught, seen or rolled. Let’s hope it is a sign of…
