Margaree Harbour
Sports and the Outdoors
The Margaree has two fishing seasons: the early summer run (opens annually on June 1) and the fall run (which goes from mid-September through October, coinciding with the peak foliage period).
Gear and licenses are readily available, as are guides who'll typically charge C$125-$150 per day to help you land a trophy-sized salmon. For details, contact the Margaree Salmon Association. Margaree Harbour, NS. 902/248-2578. Www.margareesalmon.org.
