As a result of the warm weather last week followed by rain on the weekend , it appears that the majority of the ice has moved on the Miramichi . We still have tons of ice in the side channels and bogans so a big “freshet ” is needed before good fishing can be expected . The river height is still fairley low at this point in time but with 12 days to go before opening day we will surely have the river cleaned out and in good shape for April 15th .
