Miramichi Fishing Report for Thursday, September 10, 2015

Chad Hebert

This week proved to be a slow one as the heat moved in again, stifling virtually any salmon movement.  There were very few fresh fish at the counting fences each day and those already in the system were holed up in pools with little inclination to take. In addition the water is extremely low and…

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…

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…

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…

Mark Hutchison with his first salmon this is one of 5 he hooked last weekend on a 2 day trip to Ledges.

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.

Thom Richardson with one of many fish he hooked and landed at Mountain Channel last week. They been having a record breaking year at the Channel.

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…

John McGuire with a nice fresh July salmon. Landed at one of Ledges pools on July 24th.

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!

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″]…

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…

Ledges guest Mike Vorhoef with a 24 lb hookbill. Nice salmon for his first one. Hard to top that one

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…

Stephen Leger with a nice June salmon, accompanied by guide Derek Munn.

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.
