Was good to see Robert ol (stumpy )still pursuing his passion,TIGHT LINES BRO
Thank you to everyone at The New Fly Fisher for this, Nova Scotia is such a hidden gem and there is finally something out there that shows it. I moved to British Columbia at the beginning of the summer and missed this years atlantic salmon season and seeing this almost made me cry. Thank you again. The best thing is the Margaree is Nova Scotia big conservation success story. In the 1980's the Margaree had a major drought, which lead to there being so little water in the Margaree that no salmon could get up the rivers to spawn and were stuck out to sea. This left them vulnerable to the Greenland commercial fishery, which they almost wiped out the entire population. Thanks the a hatchery being constructed and atlantic salmon from the St. Mary's River being supplemented to the population and to boost it's health. This lead to what we have today, a health river. On a side note this introduction of St. Mary's salmon to the Margaree river population has caused there to be a summer and fall run, while the surrounding rivers only have fall runs. The St. Mary's gets its largest runs of salmon staring in June.
I fished the Margaree and stayed at the Normaway 14 years ago and fell in love with Cape Breton.
First saw this episode a couple of months ago, I called my brother and said we have to plan a trip to Nova Scotia, CN to fish the Margaree. Trip is scheduled for June 2016. Thanks for a great show.
An old Army buddy is taking me to go fly fishing on the Margaree in two weeks. I can’t wait.
Really enjoyed this video, I watch your shows often. Nice to see you visited middle river. I have a cabin on the river we are lucky to have the great fishing here and other species are only a short drive away as well
As well thank you for the slight likely unknowing node to the St. Marys River in Ray's fly box, it was the Orange Blossom MacInthosh ( 19:57 the big orange dry fly in the upper right corner). That pattern originates on the St. Mary's, where back in the 1930's it was one of the dry flies used for salmon in Nova Scotia and maybe the world. The oringal pattern was a black body, red squirrel wing and brown hackle on a #4 to 2/0 hook. Thank you again for this it made me fell at home for a little bit.
Really beautiful fish. I think the second was a big brown trout
I met Robert while fishing at dollar pool, great guy very knowledgeable
Also, most amazing fiddle players found there. I'd love go before I'm to old. Very good y'all did show a bit of the fiddling
thank you.
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN CANADA. LOVELY CAPE BRETON ISLAND
Great guide, I landed some big salmon with his help
Best kind buddy. Capers are best kind.
Loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many legendary fishermen have fished this river year after year. Please be respectful.
My fav place
What flies do you think would work best for Atlantic Salmon in late July - early August?
On the Margaree River?
John, you can check with some local guides about this but some of our favourite salmon flies for the Margaree are: Ally's Shrimp, Blue Charm, Popsicle (steelhead fly), and bombers in tan with orange hackle with white tails. Virtually all bombers will work well. You might also check with Fishin Fever Fly Shop in Halifax who can recommend some other productive flies. Good luck!
The New Fly Fisher Ok I'll give them a shot, thanks.
actualy Salmon is completly off limits for around 10 years and the only places left to get salmon in the province are in cape breton.
I don’t think that’s true. You can fish for them but you have to treat them with utmost respect that the Atlantic salmon deserves. Don’t take it out of the water. Quick picture and let it go. It’s amazing
