Smoker Brook lodge stands on the banks of the Northwest Miramichi in the middle of the once- thriving logging and farming community of Three Islands, New Brunswick. The lodge is all that remains today. A twenty-minute drive north from the town of Newcastle the lodge is easily accessible by car. Described as a sportsman's and nature lover's paradise, Smoker Brook is at the end of the road, in a private, remote location. Surrounded mostly by (Crown) Public Lands this 100-acre property is the perfect setting for outdoor adventures.
The Miramichi River has been "THE" destination of serious Atlantic Salmon fishermen for over a century. Little wonder when you consider the Miramichi River produces annual Atlantic salmon runs in excess of 70,000 fish. An astounding 80% of all rod-caught Atlantic salmon are taken on the Miramichi system.
This secluded heritage property is nestled on the banks of the Northwest Miramichi River. Once the center of the little community of Three Islands, the farm is all that remains today. Smoker Brook Lodge has a long rich history and tradition. As a farm first settled by James Lyon Urquhart in 1864, the property has stood proudly on the banks of the Northwest Miramichi for over 130 years. In a testament to the area's wild bounty the family gained a living from the wood, water and soil for the better part of 100 years. Entertaining sport fishermen from the United States played a major role in later years.
Our home waters are on the lower river, about 15 miles from the head of tide. They feature several easily assessable pools and runs as well as the home pool at the mouth of Smoker Brook. There are in excess of 20 pools that we have access to within 4 miles of the lodge. Given the right water conditions we travel to these remote areas by canoe. We concentrate on the Northwest and its Tributaries but have access to private and public water on all branches of the Miramichi River.
The Season begins on April 15 provided the ice is out. For the first month most of the fishing is done from boats. Spring fishing is usually action filled with really good days having 30 fish brought to the boat, some of them as big as 46 inches. Near the end of May we start to look for the first run of bright fish just in from the ocean. The Northwest boasts one of the earliest runs in Atlantic Region. These salmon are usually in the 10lb to 20lb range and are a favorite for their mean spirit once hooked. (You'd better have 200 yards of backing!) By the first of June the 'Big Run', some 20,000 salmon, starts to arrive and this continues throughout June and July.
During the warmer summer months the upper tributaries offer superb opportunities as the runs of May, June and July settle in the cool deep waters of the mountain streams. The relatively small rivers hold enough dry fly potential to keep one's attention focused.
Smoker Brook Lodge has a complete outfitting service featuring Orvis gear. This service is provided with our all-inclusive package. We have everything necessary for an exciting and memorable experience. Our modest pro shop supplies a small selection of items such as flies and leaders or even that new 4-piece Orvis T3. Advance orders can be made for any Orvis product.
