MSA Youth Fishing School (07/07/09)

Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge is pleased to announce we have teamed up with the Miramichi Salmon Association to announce a new venue for youth to learn about salmon angling. The MSA currently offers a one week Youth Fishing course and the demand is greater than their ability to accommodate more students in this format. We have partnered with MSA to accommodate their school in the Blackville area offering a 3 night package for a child/adult combination. The adult can enjoy fishing the private waters at Miramichi Black Rapids Lodge and the child will be taught the regular Youth Camp curriculum by our MSA instructor Grant Ross. The camp will be offered to youth age 10 - 14 and the youth will share a room with the adult. The program for the youth runs during the day and the evenings are reserved for adult/child angling, a great way for an experienced angler to introduce a grandchild or child to salmon fishing. The Youth Camp itinerary is below and the price is CND $800 for a NB resident and CND $900 for a non-resident.
