The Miramichi is in superb condition this morning . We had a couple days of rain that soaked things up real good and brought the river up app. 15 inches . This is the perfect rise at the perfect time . The air temps are still cool , as a matter of fact I had to have a fire on in the wood stove at Leighton two nights this past week . There are reports of a few salmon being picked up so it looks good for next week , and beyond as long as the weather treats us right . If I was heading to the river today I would use a # 6 green machine with white calf tail.
