Colfords Atlantic Salmon Fishing River Conditions and Fly Fishing Reports by guide Rodney Colford on the main south west Miramichi River in Eastern Canada.
The last week has been very cold in Miramichi, New Brunswick. The forecast for the next week looks very good for a warm spell reaching from
+2 Celsius to +11 Celsius.And unless we see these warm days ahead it does not look like the ice will be out be the 15th of April for the start of the season on the Miramichi.
There is also rain in the forecast for Sunday and Monday for the amount of 20 to 30 mm which would get things moving on the river.
Anglers getting ready,
Most fisherman and guides are preparing and painting there Miramichi Riv
er Boats and getting set up for the client or friend that they will be fishing with. A very exciting time of the year and a time when you know the winter is gone!I have a few photos but not much change in the look of the ice from the Upper Blackville bridge up or down river. As you can see from the bridge we still have several feet of snow on the ground so we should have lots of water once the ice does start breaking up.
Other news for the weekend in case you forgot there is a Fly Show in Dieppe. The Dieppe Fly Tying Club is holding its sixth Fly Fishing Forum on March 28th and 29th, 2009 at the New Brunswick Community College in Dieppe.Also there is The Moncton Boat Show which has several kinds of boats to view. The Boat Show is the largest boat show in New Brunswick. Exhibited boats range in size from 6' to over 30' and include runabouts, cruisers, sailing dinghies, pontoon boats, bass boats, inflatables, RIBS, canoes, kayaks, and personal water craft.
