Who we are

Fueled by a passion for angling since a young age, Mike “Milza” Brideau has been a fixture on New Brunswick waterways for his entire life. Converting a long standing passion for catching trophy fish into an experience based business, Mike is the very definition of a “river rat”. When booking a trip - fun is a priority. Recreational angling is about blowing off steam and having some laughs - and of course catching some badass fish.

  • "Had a great time on the river last season fishing striped bass with Milza. He was a knowledgeable and personable guide who put in effort for us.

  • "Would leave 6 stars if I could great experience for my son and I with our guide Mike"

  • "Milza took us out yesterday. It was fish after fish, every cast. Landed some huge fish and had a blast. Couldn’t have asked for a better day, thanks again!!"

  • "Had the great opportunity to go out with Milza on the Miramichi for striped bass. Very knowledgeable, very kind and professional. What a great experience! Had a great day out on the water! Strongly recommended! 5/5"

  • "Great outfitter & guide who knows the river like no other. I have been out a few times with Milza Brido now and he puts a ton of effort into your experience. Always lots of beautiful fish in the boat. If you want a great day on the water with rods bent, this is your man."

  • "Navigation can be tricky with changing depths and currents, but he always put us right on the fish regardless of the changing conditions. "

  • "Although the fishing action didn’t leave us much time to take in the view, the scenery is beautiful in Miramichi. Milza was also good about pointing out areas of historical and ecological interest on our way to each fishing spot. We’ll be back!"

  • "Before our trip, Milza took the time to answer endless fishing questions and provided critical guidance on travel, lodging, and weather-related issues for first-time visitors. He always responded graciously and immediately."
