A gorgious day on the Miramichi River, you don't have to be fishing to enjoy the river as experienced by all the boats cruising by today. Water is still hign and I'm only aware of (1) fish being taken today but on the upside most if not all the shore ice has now disappeared. If we can have a few days of decent weather and a little clearing of the water there are still some fish out there to play with.
Enjpoyed the Salmon Museum Dinner in Doaktown last night, great meal, lots of nice prizes and fishing equipment or packages up for auction. The speaker was current president of MSA and he talked about tracking our salmon. As you already know last year, although a banner year for fish, was a write off due to the loss of counting stations. He did mention that the Main Southwest Miramichi has a strong population of salmon, although the return is very low, in the 3% range. There is a heavy loss of salmon outside the river, the cause yet to be determined. All in all enjoyable, especially when the tab was picked up by a friend.
