The Atlantic Salmon season just wound down and fishing was great up till the final bell. Although the last week of the season we ended up spending more time in the woods hunting for woodcock and grouse there were some memorable large salmon landed.

We are looking forward to opening day on April 15th. If this global warming is real we should have open water be that time.

This seasons Atlantic salmon counts were strong with more large salmon in the 35 to 40 pound range. Grilse numbers were a little low on the Northwest but as the counting facilities missed the majority of the run due to high water the river produced good spawning escapement.

Area Reporting: Atlantic Salmon Fishing on the Miramichi River!

Bio: The Northwest Miramichi has been a well-kept secret for generations. Unlike the ever-popular Southwest, the Northwest has had little development in its past. Running out of the Christmas and Historian mountain ranges, the upper reaches are in remote unsettled territory. The rivers start their journey at some 2000 feet and drop to sea level within 70 miles. The variety of terrain offers a plethora of fishing opportunities. From the meandering channels and gravel bars of the lower river to the fast-flowing boulder-strewn streams like the Big Sevogle with its deep clear holding pools, the Northwest has enough water to keep a salmon fisher happy for a lifetime.
