Often referred to as the King of Gamefish, the magnificient Salmon remains the most sought- after species by non- resident anglers visiting New Brunswick. The pursuit of the Atlantic salmon with rod and reel dates back to at least the 1. Atlantic Salmon anglers today. On a fishing line, the Atlantic Salmon has few peers. It runs hard and fast, leaping clear of the water - generally offering the angler an unforgettable thrill, one that, if only for one time in a fisherman's lifetime, should not ever be passed up! The evidence supports the superlative. No other river sees as many angling days, produces as many Atlantic Salmon, or offers such a length of fishable water! Other Species.

Salt water and Deep Sea fishing is also available throughout the many miles of New Brunswick’s coastline. Striped Bass fishing is new on the Miramichi and early numbers and sizes are impressive. This run peaks between mid May to early July, with fishermen catching fish in excess of 5 pounds each season. Shad is also another species that the Miramichi has an abundance of.
