The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

It was just over a week ago that Jamie and I hit Redbank, near Chipman, New Brunswick, for some more exciting pickerel fishing. I already wrote a post about our day but I took a picture of the two culverts and noticed that there was no water running through them. That was the first time I can remember no water running through them.

Looks Like Someone is Watching Us

I remember standing on the top of these culverts opening season this year and the water was less than a foot from the top. These culverts are big. I am 5′ 9″ and I can stand inside them with my arms raised and not be close to touching the top so the water was at least 8 or 10 feet higher than it is right now.

I sure was a lot easier getting to the other side with Jamie’s canoe but once the water was no longer moving through the culverts it became much tougher as we tend to keep the canoe loaded with as much stuff as we can carry. That meant we would have to almost empty the canoe to carry it across the road.

It was just on the other side of the culvert, where you can put your boat in that I caught my 23 inch pickerel the last time we were out. Worth the walk to the other side I’d say.
