New Brunswick is Atlantic salmon country. The Miramichi and the Restigouche are two of the best-known salmon rivers in North America, and their tributaries, such as the Upsalquitch, carry runs of their own. Every salmon is released on a barbless fly, non-residents fish for salmon with a licensed New Brunswick guide, and much of the best water is private or leased to camps and lodges.
The season runs from the spring kelt fishery in mid-April and May through the summer runs to the fall fish of September and October. In a hot summer DFO's warm-water protocol can close cold-water pools or whole rivers, so check its notices before you go.
