Orange Flies worked on the Cain's

Fishing today on the Cain’s was outstanding! Guides Rodney & Gary Colford got into 4 fish this morning and had a 16 inch trout at Moore’s Pool. We also had several others take the fly but only bumped and was gone. The fly was a orange blossom special. One of the salmon caught was a 14 lb hen covered with sea lice fresh from the bay.

The water temperature was 45 F and was very clear. The winds picked up and made it very cool for the most part of the morning. So our fire made it very cozy to get warmed up by.

The main SW Miramichi River was slow today by the mouth of Cain’s. Still very high for this stretch of the river. Pool 66 was not producing any fish nor even seeing any. I think the fish are moving through very fast in this high water we have and when you get them up the Cain’s as far as we are with sea lice they must be moving through very quickly.

That’s all for now, I will try to report back this evening with the evening’s report.

Tight Lines,

Atlantic Salmon takes on the Cain's

The Miramichi River Report for the 6th of Oct. It was a cool day on the river with sunny periods for the most part. The air temperature is 9 C. The water temperature is 47 F. There is a high tide tonight at 11:13 PM and is 1.35 meters high. The water was very clear today but with the normal dark color it looks dirty if you do not look closely.

Now for the fishing today! The Cain’s was fishing very well today at Moore’s Pool for the Colford’s with 6 fish hooked and 5 landed by noon. Then I hooked another at 3:30 on a undertaker #8 double. It was around 7 lbs male. We saw several fish jumping today so maybe they are starting to move up river a bit. The water was down by another foot on the Cain’s but is still very high for most pools in the lower stretches of the river. The Miramichi dropped a foot or so as well but I have no reports from the river as how the fishing was today. Then just before dark this evening Guide Gary Colford landed a 25 pound salmon in the middle of the Moore's Pool.

For guide Rodney Colford tight lines for today.

Miramichi Fishing Report

South West Miramichi River Report by Rodney Colford. Fishing today was slow for the Cains River area with guide Gary Colford landing a salmon and raising a couple more on a small black fly. On the Miramichi today Wintson Gilks of Blissfield landed a couple salmon trolling with a sinking line.The water level is still very high but with the cool nights we should see a fast drop in the levels. Last night and today we saw a drop of about 3 feet. The water looks very clear and anglers should start picking up more fish in the next few days. And with no rain in the forecast the season should be looking very good for the end of the 2008 season.
