Excellent start of season for the fish, not the fishermen. The water level is high, there are fish everywhere in the system, but the bite is off from the fishing reports I got so far from the salmon bum fraternity (I have only been out once for a few casts...)is there anybody who has been in the Bathurst area fishing
how is the nipisiquite river anything moving
I am heading there this weekend
Usually July 15 is the best time to start fishing in the NEP... for me anywaysExcellent start of season for the fish, not the fishermen. The water level is high, there are fish everywhere in the system, but the bite is off from the fishing reports I got so far from the salmon bum fraternity (I have only been out once for a few casts...)
The basin is choke full of jumping fish just waiting for the right conditions to start a run. We expect 30mm of rain in the next 24hrs, so that's not gonna help the water levels, but might get some fish running up.
By week's end, I plan on wetting a line, some high water pools might be producing fish. You should get into half-decent fishing by that time I have to imagine.
Good luck on the river and hopefully thight lines.
You probably mean Pabineau Falls, not Indian Falls. Salmon cannot run up to Indian Falls, which is 50 miles from tidal waters. The last stop for Nepisiguit Salmon is Grand Falls dam, now owned by NB Power, 25 miles from tidal waters.where about are you fishing I was way up river by indian falls and there was fish
wonder what it is like at the pump house
Sorry, I tought you meant salmon fishing.no i mean indian falls for trout not salmon I am also from Bathurst
haveyou been on the middle river
