19th April 2009


Miramichi River remains clear at medium level with a slight overnight increase, weather is cool with mild S/E wind.

Weekend fishermen are out and fishing is productive. At 10:30 hr Boats in at Doaktown Bridge, 2 of 3 boats with fish on at Porter Cove Bridge, and the 3 boats in front of our cottage are taking fish regularly during the morning. Reports from up river also indicating fish being taken. By 4PM one boat had released 15 salmon.

Unfortunately we unable to launch boats due to shore ice. We can get a boat in but no place to tie them up and with water levels starting to rise it would be dangerous to leave a boat overnight in the water.

Tuesday calling for showers, then a warming week into double digits so we are bound to see the water level increase. This will float some shore ice, muddy up the water and probably slow fishing down.
