Question 1

Which county is Saint John River in?

Accepted Answer

It belongs to Côte-Nord, New Brunswick, at low ground above sea level. Reckon 20 km to Port-Cartier and 38 km to Sept-Îles. Fish where the water changes, not where it looks tidy.

Question 2

Does Saint John River hold much depth?

Accepted Answer

Depth is missing from the record here. Local practice says the outside of each bend cuts deepest. Count the drop down and you will learn the shelf.

Question 3

Does Saint John River freeze?

Accepted Answer

The ice season is long here and the open one short. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November.

Question 4

Can you fish Saint John River?

Accepted Answer

Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Whatever the bank status, the provincial licence still applies. Treat the bank as borrowed rather than owned.

Question 5

How close can I get the car to Saint John River?

Accepted Answer

No formal parking is recorded, which means roadside and a walk. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether a permit must be bought in advance.

Question 6

What sits close to Saint John River?

Accepted Answer

You would be travelling a fair way to find the next one. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. If the wind ruins one, the next may be sheltered.
