The Margaree is one of the most beautiful North American rivers and it was appointed as a Heritage River. Since the last century fly fishers have come from all over the world to this area to catch their salmon.

The Margaree holds Atlantic Salmon, Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout. The Margaree splits into two parts at our property; hence the name Margaree Forks. The part coming from the mountain is only to be fished by fly starting June 1st. In the Southwest Margaree one can also go with worm or spoon.

We have Salmon Licenses and a wide selection of Fly Fishing Tackle for sale (locally tied flies, fly lines, leaders, rods, reels, waders etc.)

You can rent fly rods/reels &waders.
Professional Guiding for novices and experienced fly fishermen.

The normal catch in the Margaree river ranges from 6 to 20 pounds with an average catch being 10 pounds. The record catch in the Margaree is 52 lbs!
The salmon season on the Margaree begins June 1 and continues until October 31. Enjoy the fishing!

To fish for the Atlantic salmon with a dry fly gives you a totally new perspective. Anyone that has tried to land a catch with the "king of salmon" knows how tough it is to hook one.
Depending on the water level in the fall one should use flies such as Mickey Finn, Green Highlander, GP, Cosseboom, Black Bear and Muddler.
Most fishermen come to this area from the end of September until middle of October. Nevertheless the 60 pools offer a good opportunity for one to find a nice spot.
Some of the best pools last year were: Forks, Dollar, Seal, Snag, Etheridge, Wash and Swimming hole. They are all within a 10-minute radius from the Lodge, one can walk to the "Forks" pool.
For the first day we recommend to make use of an experienced guide, who knows the river like the back of his hand. He should be booked prior to your arrival in case of a busy period.
Fishing Tackle
A one hand rod of 9 to 11 feet, from 7 weight to 10weight, or a two hand rod of 13 to 14 feet, from 9weight to 11weight. Lines should be consistent to the class of the rod. Types of lines vary from floating, sink, sink-tip or intermediate, depending on the water level. The reel should have a good brake and store at least 100 yards of backing line.
May your line be tight and the fishing great!
