The Shediac River is a stream flowing through New Brunswick, Canada, draining into the warm, productive waters of Shediac Bay along the Northumberland Strait. This river system supports a diverse mix of freshwater and anadromous fish species, making it a compelling destination for anglers targeting everything from brook trout in the upper reaches to striped bass pushing in from the bay. The watershed sits within a relatively low-elevation coastal plain, giving the river a gentle gradient with a mix of pools, runs, and shallow riffles. The river's proximity to Shediac Bay — one of the warmest saltwater bays in Canada — creates a dynamic tidal influence in the lower reaches that draws migratory species seasonally into the system.
