Despite the high water on the Miramichi anglers are hooking into some chromer's with a little extra work. Heavy thunder showers over the past week kept the river up very high, but anglers kept fishing and the lucky few that did got rewarded.

The North West Miramichi as of yesterday was still a little high but fish are being hooked in many different pools. And by the weekend it should be at a very good level and much better for wading.
Trout Brook Fly Shop on the north west said there have been over 12 to 15 fish landed that they have heard of. Owner Sydney Matchette said anglers were hooking most fish on yellow wing butter flies and black ghost. He said conditions were high all week but is looking very good by Friday.
Derek Munn of the Ledges Inn in Doaktown said fishing was slow for him on the Main South West and he was fishing the North West Miramichi. Derek said he saw a grilse landed at a pool while canoeing and saw two more fish on his run on Tuesday. He said there was reports of several fish landed over the last few days on the NW.

Country Haven Fishing Lodge said fishing was slow there but reports of a few fishermen hooking some bright fish on the South West and North West Miramichi.
Flies of choice for the weekend are black ghost, yellow wing butterflies, green machines and shady ladies. Water temperatures are in the mid 50's (F) and visibility is very clear. Rain is also expected for the weekend but should not effect the river level until the later part of the weekend, it should be at a good level to hook up.

I was fishing with Bonnie Wright and Sylvie Malo-Clark on Monday and we had a very good day but conditions were a little high. We practised with some Spey Casting (double hand) which they done a very good job.
