A beautiful day on the River. We had boats drifting down river with their motors lifted and the occupants stretched out soaking up the sunshine. Ah life's good on the Miramichi.
On the fishing side we had two boats in the pool. They hooked into (4) fish in about an hour, other than that it was rather slow. The weatherman calling for about 30mm of rain in the next day or so, that should just about finish spring fishing for this area other than the last of the big salmon who will slowly work down over the next week or so.
We had better start planning for the first of the sea-run trout. These will be the big guys that always seem to get by us, the 5lb +/- that we hear about and get to see an occassional photo or two.
This run will be followed by the smaller sea-run trout which may be bottom or surface feeding depending on the water/air conditions. If it's cool they too will be bottom feeding, if the weather warms up and there is lots of hatch then the dry fly's and bombers will be on the menu.
