28th July 2008



We have not had a lot to report in the past few days. Back to back hot muggy days heated up the water and subsequently the pool saw little to no fishing although we still spotted the odd straggler working up river. This pool is not a summer holding pool although we do have an underground cold water spring running into the deepest part; salmon reportedly do not swim through a level of warm water to strike a fly.

Recent reports are that although fishing has slowed as compared to a few weeks ago, fish are still being taken in the cold water pools & rapids – Cache, Schoolhouse, Cookhouse, Norrad's, etc. – reports from Porcupine are not as good. There is a valid report that during the peak of the summer run a few weeks ago of a commercial fisherman in Mriamichi Bay in a single lift for another species of fish had to throw back over 300 grilse.

The water is holding, recent overnight rains have cooled the waters and we have clients on the water for the next few days, this should give a local reading. By 13:00 hr they had tied into one and touched another.

If the fishing is slow we will simply join the black bears gathering blue berries. Life is rough in the country J
