| | Restigouche River, New Brunswick |
 | | On the gravel beach beside the river, the main stage of this giant natural amphitheatre, the air was cool, thick with mist, still hours from feeling the heat of the morning sun. |
 | | The small mountain stream of rapids and deep pools drops quickly toward the big river, and at its confluence with the main Restigouche River forms what is perhaps the finest Atlantic salmon pool on the planet, a giant swirling reservoir of deep, cold water that holds thousands of fish each season. |
 | | The Restigouche was chosen for its isolation, its fine canoeing and angling, its history as a Micmac and Malecite waterway, and as a lifeline for European settlers. |
