The peak time for fishing Snake pool is June and July. Grilse sometimes hold up for a rest here in August and September.

The Falls

Moose Bogan is the last fishable pool before the gates at the end of the Dartmouth. As a result, the pool contains a host of salmon. Moose Bogan can be best described as fast rapids quieting into a slower flow. Salmon can often be seen in the deep water at the head of the rapids. This sector is catch'n release for large salmon all season.
