Ice Runs on the RestigoucheApril 26, 2018 · Posted in Recent News
 Ice Runs on the Restigouche It took a warm afternoon on Tuesday, April 24 to finally get the ice moving on the Restigouche River. Although the ice and heavy snow pack has hung around late this season, it might just mean an easier transition to great early fishing conditions. Normally when the ice goes out the shore is solid with walls of ice bordering the river. We have had a slow melt eroding the ice from underneath and not a huge raise of water lifting and busting free the river’s ice. With the river covered in a deep blanket of snow, it has aided in a gradual controlled melt. The slow melt has moved the calendar date for the ice out and with that comes warmer temperatures. Warmer weather means little ice damming and hopefully no flooding. We will just have to wait and see what else Mother Nature has in store for the Restigouche River this spring.

 Hovercraft ice breaker The Hovercraft has left the frozen Restigouche to open up waters for the crabbers. The Bay of Chaleur has no open water from above the RRL camp to the Town of Dalhousie, she is covered with ice. The ice breaking vessel spent a few days on the river from the Campbellton Bridge upriver to Tide Head. However since the bay being frozen and no way for the ice to move out she left for another mission. Mother Nature will now do her part as we wait for the return of the hovercraft. Between the two of them, let’s get the river open and welcome the Restigouche’s large Atlantic’s September 2018 TripsWe are now booking September 2018 trips on the Restigouche River at the RRL.

The New Jersey Fly Fishing Show is this coming weekend. The show looks to be the best ever with a new location and a great weather forecast. See you there!
Restigouche River Lodge guide Mathieu spends a good amount of the winter month’s ice fishing on the Chaleur Bay. Out on the ice this morning he heard screaming from the shanty next door. Looking into his neighbor shanty he found his Cousin Philip cornered by this strange looking fish. After reviving the lads they were safely released and the fish headed back to the deep.
