Atlantic Salmon - Opening Day on the Miramichi 2021 | Brad Burns Fishing

We are accustomed to the fact that if you want wild caught salmon it has got to be Pacific salmon.  Atlantic salmon comes from fish farms, ponds, and tanks - mostly in Norway, but Maine too.

Of course salmon used to be a major catch in the north Atlantic ocean.  The Merrimack River runs from the juncture of  the Pemigewasset and Winnipesaukee rivers in Franklin, New Hampshire to the Gulf of Maine at Newburyport, Massachusetts.  It was first known as the Salmon River, as Jeffrey Bolster reports in his Bancroft Prize-winning history of the Gulf of Maine and north Atlantic fishery The Mortal Sea .

Since the Faeroe islanders  and others were bought out, pledging to never again fish for the pink meat of the salmon, there has been a conservation success.  Brad Burns of Friendship and Yarmouth Maine, a guide, often takes his clients fishing on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick.  There you can land a big one without having to fly across the continent.
