We have just had a cancellation for Sept. 23,24 weekend if anyone out there is interested in giving fall salmon fishing a try or maybe just getting away to fall colours, cool evenings and fish occasionally jumping!
A bit of boat wandering today. John started off taking a nice grilse at the Palace by the Priceville Footbridge, Glen another at Porcupine and I took another in the upper end of the Priceville pool, all were nice and bright females and taken on # 4 brown flys with black bodies, like a Black Ferry. Great day for being on the river.

Miramichi dropped considerably over night.
Tim took a grilse along the shoreline this morning, it was injured so he had to keep it. This ended his day of fishing early.

Well trout season is over for another year :(
Yesterday's rain did a real number on the Miramichi which is once again high and dirty although I did see a salmon jump about 2 ft off shore this morning - so it's back to shore fishing. We never got to low Summer level and it doesn't look like the river will drop to normal Fall level at this rate.

Miramichi is dropping clear but dark tea colour. Early afternoon the river was teeming with fish, counted 50 fish in 20 minutes, tapered off around 5pm with just t he occassional fish showing into evening. Threw a line out briefly, hit two salmon on a blackbear #4.

8th September 2011
Miramichi dropped several inches overnight, chest waders along the shore or boats. Based on weather forecast for the weekend the river should continue to drop, however water remains dark. On the positive side our non-fishing guests reported seeing a number of fish jumping in front of the cottage, some silver. I spent approx. 20 minutes on the river this afternoon and had one strike, saw two fish in the air, all close to the shore. It's not going to be great fishing but there are fish moving.

What a downpour we had this afternoon, that's sure to bring the Miramichi up and it was already high.
The boys gave it a good honest try and did see fish, 7 or 8 this morning alone, pulls and rises but that was all, the fish were just not taking. Leo you left your ketchup behind.

What a change in weather, wet and windy but not too cold.
A few fish moving a grilse taken around noon on a green/white bomber. We had some fishermen arrive after lunch, will see how they make out.

Started the morning watching a beaver search for the remnants of his house after the high water, Lika landed this dark hookbill off the shore on a Golden Eagle, 8 yr old Tyler another on a LT Special, while Ben and I came literally face to face with a black bear just below the cottage. Beaver and salmon still in the river, the bear is in the field eating apples. Greg picked up a nice grilse in the eveni9ng on an Allie's Shrimp.
