The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

While I was out in the yard trying to get everything looking good and ready for summer Casey and fishing friend ShiftyChevy, probably not his real name, went to the Miramichi river to see if they could catch a few sea run trout and some stripers.

The scenery was great as was the weather but the trout and stripers were taking the day off to relax in the sun I guess because there wasn't much catching going on. Those can be frustrating days so it really helps when the scenery keeps your mind occupied through a long day of no fish.

Well I shouldn't say NO fish as Casey's friend managed to hook into a 19" striper at the end of the day. That's him in the picture top left.

This is one of the pictures Casey took. What a beautiful scene.

I have never seen this part of the Miramichi. Whenever I am fishing the Miramichi it's always been much further upstream and I've always been fishing Atlantic salmon. It would be quite a surprise to land a striper on the fly rod.

Well boys I hope you have been luck in the future.
