Nepisiguit River

These lodges play host to the many individuals taking part in several different outdoor activities including hunting, fishing and snowmobiling along the river.

Hunting is also another activity that takes part along the Nepisiguit because the significant animal population and various species within this region afford it.

[2][3] Bob Baker remembers that there was a five-year period between 1969 and 1974 where there were almost no fish in the river, primarily due to acid rain and toxic run-off from Brunswick Mines.

[4] In the years prior to 2017, volunteers placed a hundred thousand salmon fry per annum in the river as part of the restocking programme.

[4] Each September, volunteers begin selecting the largest as broodstock destined for the Charlo hatchery where eggs are collected and fertilized.
