2017 Recap/ Review Long Lake Adventures
Our fishing season for 2017 was another fantastic one! Our guests enjoyed some great fishing and made some super memories! Our guided fishing trips (from mid-June to the end of July) were a real hit as well; boating over 90 Lake trout and even more Landlocked salmon, less than a dozen of these fish left the lake and are waiting to be caught again in 2018! Here are a few photos of the awesome catches from 2017:
We also had another great spring bear season in 2017, several beautiful bears were harvested and a few just observed.
One of our highlights was Mr. John Vincent a 13-year return guest and disabled veteran of the US military, harvested his 11th bear with us and 2nd bear to weigh over 400 pounds!
New for 2018: Have you ever wanted to be the only ones to fish on a private lake that hasn’t been open in over 20 years?
We are pleased to announce that Square Lake is now open for fishing! Contact us for details.

If you haven’t checked the results yet you can do so by clicking here (page opens in new window). If you were fortunate enough to be drawn we congratulate you! We had a great Moose season here at Long Lake Adventures last year with our non-residents taking 3 fine bulls (see our 2016 photos here). Our preliminary scouting this spring indicates the Moose in our area wintered well making the outlook for 2017 very positive. To read more about New Brunswick Moose hunting here at Long Lake Adventures check our page here. Our Moose hunts are all-inclusive and cover everything except license cost and gratuities. That means all transportation to and from your hunting area, meals, lodging, guide costs and skinning/preparation of your Moose are included.
We even have a special arrangement with a local professional butcher shop who will process your Moose meat to your specifications before you leave. This service is not included in the price of your hunt and you will pay the butcher directly. (His rates are very reasonable and his work is second-to-none). We are not aware of any other outfitters in New Brunswick offering this service.
Our location in the wilderness along with the services we offer including great atmosphere, great food and well-experienced, professional guides make Long Lake the place to be when the 2017 New Brunswick Moose season rolls around.

There was still some lingering ice on Friday but we awoke to a gorgeous day Saturday which was certainly welcome after all the rain over the last several days. All the coves in the lake will be accessible for our first-day anglers so they can reach their favorite hot spots. Last year was a great year for both Lake Trout and Landlocked Salmon fishing here at Long Lake Adventures. We still have a handful of spots available for some prime early season fishing so if you’re considering an early season trip it’s not too late! Our contact info is in the paragraph above, these dates provide an excellent opportunity to hook top-water Salmon and Lake Trout.

2016 Year in Review Long Lake Adventures
2016 will go down in the books as another great year here at Long Lake Adventures. We’ve broken down our recap into three categories; fishing, bear hunting and non-resident moose hunting, with links to new photo galleries. We’ve also got a brand new promotional video on our Youtube channel that shows more about all the fantastic opportunities for everyone here at Long Lake Adventures.
Fishing
Landlocked Salmon from Mud Lake 2016
What a year! After a bit of a slow start 2016 proved to be one of the best seasons in Long Lake’s history.
When the fish started biting you weren’t sure what you had on, a Lake Trout or a Landlocked Salmon. Some of the largest of both species were hooked this year, with a new camp record Lake Trout caught and released. This fish tipped the scales and a whopping 24 pounds.
On our guided All Inclusive fishing trips , where we provided the boat, guide, and gear as well as accommodations and meals our guests had exceptional fishing, we boated over 70 Lake Trout including the 24- pound fish mentioned above. Of these 70, only 9 of them were retained by our clients, leaving the vast majority of them to spawn again this fall and perhaps give someone else the thrill of reeling them in once again in the future. You can check out our 2016 Fishing Gallery or read more about our New Brunswick Lake Trout fishing here.
Bear Hunting
2016 Spring Bear Hunting
This year , both the spring and fall seasons were very productive with several trophy bears taken. Thanks to the hard work and dedicated efforts of our expert guides, all of our hunters had the opportunity to take a bear.
For 2017, we are excited to offer a new area to our property. An archery only area, that has never been hunted with a rifle. Our 2016 bear hunting pictures can be found here and our New Brunswick Black Bear hunting page can provide you with more details on our bear hunts.
Non- Resident Moose Hunting
2016 Moose Hunting Long Lake Adventures
As you are well aware, drawing a New Brunswick moose hunting tag is difficult, but we were fortunate enough in 2016 to host three lucky hunters, who along with their guides experienced the “hunt of a lifetime”. Earlier-than-normal moose hunting dates, combined with a mixed bag of weather, that ranged from warm and sunny to cold and rainy wasn’t a problem for our experienced guides as all 3 of our hunters took home fine bulls. You can view our 2016 moose hunting photos, along with a video of one of our 2016 hunts here and read more about moose hunting with Long Lake Adventures on this page. We remind our non-resident friends that the 2017 New Brunswick Moose Lottery entry dates start on February 6. We wish you all the best of luck in the draw.
Other Adventures
New dock at Long Lake Adventures
Taking a break on one of our ATV tours
The weather this past summer was exceptional! Sunny warm days, with occasional night time rain showers, made for ideal conditions for several of our “ tailor-made” ATV tours. Fantastic scenery, awesome food and wonderful camaraderie , are making these tours very popular among ATV enthusiasts . Check out our photo gallery.
A comfortable NEW cabin, with all the amenities and a great view and a custom built dock system by “Big Dads Welding”, were a welcome addition, enjoyed by several families during our “Family Vacation Special” this past August.
We’d like to thank all of our guests, friends and staff who made 2016 another great year and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you in 2017!

New Brunswick Moose Season Dates for 2016
The New Brunswick government officially announced 2 days ago that the 2016 New Brunswick Moose hunting season will once again be a 5 day hunt. Though no official announcement has been made the moose season dates in New Brunswick for 2016 will likely be September 18 through 24, 2016 as this is the last full week in September, Saturday inclusive. There was speculation the hunt might be shortened or possibly split into two 3- day seasons however for 2016 the government elected to maintain the status quo after consultations with stakeholders.
