About

In 1946 we began providing superb, personalized service to fly fishing anglers and their families as they enjoyed the exclusive use of our secluded, cozy Lodge, rustic well-appointed cottages, and five-star private pools. Each October, shooters would join us in the classic Woodcock and Ruffed Grouse cover of the Miramichi and Cains River valleys.

In 2006, we downsized our operation. We subdivided our land (55 acres) into five building lots. We had three, three-bedroom cottages, located on lot 1, 3, and 4. The cottages on lots 3 and 4 were sold immediately.

Lease

For the 2008 salmon season, we will lease our three bedroom cottage on lot 1, the lot that overlooks Vickers' Bar. This lease will include fishing rights, for two anglers, to our three privately owned salmon pools from April 15th through October 15th. This traditional pine-paneled cottage has three bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, full kitchen with dish washer, dining room, and fly tying room. It is fully furnished and has electric and propane heat, and phone and satellite TV hookups. $10,000 Utilities not included. Contact me at vickers@gwi.net

We are 70 miles northeast of Fredericton and thirty-five miles southwest of Miramichi City.
