Fly Fishing on the Miramichi

The Miramichi River. It brings to mind…. beauty and tranquility in the rolling hills of its valley…..a place of simpler times in the spirit of its people……and heart-beating exhilaration in the pull of its mighty Atlantic salmon on the line of a fisherman.

If you’ve ever been here you appreciate the surrounding beauty as you patiently cast your line attempting to outsmart the sometimes elusive salmon.

If you’ve ever had an Atlantic salmon on the end of your line, you know its strength, especially in the spring when the fish are plentiful and restless, finally free from the grip of winter’s freeze and anxious for food.

You understand the thrill of that battle, your rod bowed, your arms exhausted, when you finally reel him to your boat.

Been a while since you’ve been here and yearning to come back? Never experienced this thrill and want to try it? Why wait any longer?! O’Donnell’s Cottages (3 ½ star Outfitter) specializes in spring fishing (black salmon) and summer day-adventure fishing packages for the mighty Atlantic salmon.
