Fishing
Blessed with an abundance of lakes and rivers, the area around DesBarres Manor is a paradise for trout and salmon anglers from spring through to fall. Here are some of our favourite fishing spots and the best times of the year to land the big catch.

Salmon Fishing
DesBarres Manor is centrally located among some of Nova Scotia’s leading salmon fishing rivers including the Salmon, St. Mary’s, West, Margaree and Mira. The Salmon River is only a 10 minute drive from the Manor and has one of Nova Scotia’s longest seasons for estuarial salmon fishing, from May 15 to September 30. Every day of the season, regardless of water levels, arrive at the river outlet for the last two hours before low tide for excellent fishing. The Salmon River is also a good spot for brown trout.
