Three days of East wind and rain, enough to put the damper on enjoyable fishing. Water continues to rise and darken so it's back to the bigger flys. Even with this we have seen a few fish, mostly small grilse hugging the shoreline, (3) hooked in this pool on 28th saw about a dozen around noon on 29th.
Not a damper for our clients, they could be heard in the evening sitting around the camp fire and later setting off fireworks in preparation for Canada Day.
Afternoon report, water rising and dirty, with rain projected into Tuesday we may not see decent fishing conditions until this coming weekend, that's not to say you may be able to tie into one by accident.
If you have a chance drop into Betts restaurant in Doaktown, they have placed a picture on the counter of a fisherman and what appears to be this years salmon catch, a very large salmon for these parts.
I was ask today how I would rate this pool. As all salmon pools, we have fishermen who are very lucky and others who leave just considering it lucky to be able to fish on the Miramichi, the actual catch depends on factors such as fish run, water level, water temperature. It's not a cold water holding pool but does hold fish in the late summer and fall. In comparsion to other pools in the area on an overall seasonal basis the pool produces well for this stretch of river. Pond's Rapids the next pool down from us underwent some changes with the last two ice runs and is producing very well for June. The Cache Pool in Boiestown at the mouth of Burtland Brook was exceptional in 2006 and dead in 2007.
