On the South West Miramichi River for the lower stretches by Rodney Colford. With the weather staying very good the past few days and the water dropping. It is making some very good fishing in most areas of the river.

 The water temperature is in the 60's and the barometric pressure has been rising the past few days. There are loads of fish in the river and several amounts of grilse are being landed. The past couple days our group of sports have hooked 18 fish.

 Other anglers on the river from Doaktown to Quarryville are hooking up. The flies of choice have been very many patterns, both dry and wet flies are working very well so don't be shy to try what ever salmon pattern you have in the box!

The water has cleared up and is almost to a perfect level again. Down by the mouth of Cain's River the water is still about 2 feet higher than normal conditions. But in the next couple days that should change.

For the Lower Stretches of the Miramichi River.

Tight Lines, Rodney Colford
