24th July 2009

Just a brief update: Currently the Miramichi has strong cool dark water, rather than hold in cold water pools the fish are continuously on the move, so you have to get a fly in front of them. Yesterday morning we tied into 2 only to loose them, the same thing last night. This morning (1) salmon taken, in the afternoon (1) grilse hooked. A few large salmon showing. The salmon are taking very soft and are hard to hang on to once hooked. Our ratio is well above 75% salmon to grilse.

While watching a couple of eagles yesterday evening a deer swam the river then wandered along the shore. This morning we had a doe and two fawns on the opposite shoreline.
