The Miramichi Salmon Association’s 13th Annual Miramichi Salmon Classic, a four-day event with three days of fishing on the Miramichi River, will be held from July 8th – 11th, 2018. The fee is $350 CAD for first time participants and $450 CAD for returnees. This is a great introduction to fishing the Miramichi Watershed and we encourage all participants to get to know our outfitters on this trip so they can fish the Miramichi again next season.

The guide stays with the pool and the anglers move around. Usually there are 2 people at each pool with one guide.
NOTE: We try to make sure everyone gets on at least 3 different rivers and some private and some public water; the final schedule is not drawn up until the week before the event.
