The Miramichi is known as
"the mother of all salmon
rivers" for hosting the largest
runs in the world of Atlantic
salmon, "the king of game fish".

The "king of game fish" is
back! Thanks to recent rigorous
conservation efforts, Atlantic
salmon fishing in Atlantic Canada,
and notably on the Miramichi has
returned to near "good old days"
levels, and continues to improve
each year. Many experienced
anglers believe that nothing in
game fishing compares to the reel-
sizzling runs and acrobatic leaps
of the Atlantic Salmon.

The spring season is barely
over and we are into the "sea-run" brook trout, (1-6 lbs) and the early rocky brook run, Atlantic's best fishing for this run is between May 20th and June 10th. There is also an opportunity during the month of June for the fantastic shad run. The summer season begins mid June when the first new run of salmon are on their way into the river. The first new run of salmon start about mid June and last until mid August. The water is now down so you can wade the pools and use canoes to go from pool to pool. The weather is of course much warmer (50-85 F) so light weight summer gear is appropriate.

The late season or second run of the year starts mid August and is on until mid October. This fall run offers some of the best salmon fishing of the year and in October can be mixed with woodcock and grouse gunning for a "Cast & Blast" . During the fall season you can fish from breakfast until the evening. The salmon are sometimes a little bigger than the July run because the fish are getting ready to spawn at this time.
