Posts: 2733 | Hi Ghost, Great pictures - looks like nice water. Water looks very clear. Did you see many other fly fishers? I'll PM you for some more information. The top picture even looks like the fellows legs are red from the cold water. | |

| New Brunswick Posts: 23 | Wbranch,it's a beautiful stretch of the river up in the headwaters area of the Main SW Miramichi near Juniper,NB,app. 200km upstream from where it empties into Northumberland Strait.The Miramichi watershed is comprised of 37 major tributaries and over 7000 individual streams,brooks,creeks etc.,making it the largest producer of Atlantic Salmon in the world.The water is clean and pristine,but like most NB rivers slightly tea colored/peat stained. On this trip we put in just above the small lumber town of Juniper.We seen a few other anglers at some of the easier access points and popular pools along the route,but much of the water is only accessable via canoe,with sweeping bends,lies,and holding pools around every other corner.Some stretches we didn't see another soul for several kms at a time,and this on a long weekend. Yes,it was very cold on Monday and a mistake to ditch our waders along with the camping gear upstream at an access point,but it was so hot on Sunday we never gave it much thought?Live and learn,...September is wader season,LOL. Can't wait to go back again in June for some of the best searun speck fishing the east coast has to offer. | |
