Locals refer to Grog Island Camp as a high-water Camp. Bright salmon fishing is best during the first few weeks of June along the Quebec stretch whereas the New Brunswick pool can fish well into July or beyond.
Both Quebec and New Brunswick riparian have good black salmon fishing which begins shortly after the spring ice run; this varies from mid to late April.
There are Commercial Salmon Fishing Outfitters both up and down the river from Grog Island Camp’s riparian stretches. To entertain their Sports these Lodges are fully staffed and have a number of boats on the water at most times.
Since 2002 the current owners have used Grog Island Camp more as a summer house than a fishing lodge so rod-hours have been very limited and as a result the log book has not been maintained.
However, during the 66 years that Grog Island Camp was operated as an Outfitter there was a Fish Count & Weight Log maintained.
