Spring Salmon Fishing [April 15 - May 15]
The most traditional of all wild Atlantic Salmon experiences is angling in the high water of spring. Spring salmon have wintered in the Miramichi River and by mid-April, when the ice has retreated, they are ready to take the big, colourful flies of the spring salmon run as the fish travel to the sea. It's the first, welcome taste of fishing for many anglers each year and although the weather may be cool the fish are abundant and available all along the river.
Summer Fishing [June 15 - October 15]
The classic fly-fishing experience for the king of sport fish is Pond Resorts specialty! The resort supports Hook-and-Release angling in the summer run. All guides are professionals, certified, experienced and have all-important local knowlege of this river and the wild Atlantic Salmon that live here.
