The Chiganois River is a Nova Scotia waterway flowing into the Cobequid Bay region, recognized as part of the broader Atlantic salmon conservation and restoration landscape in the province. This river has a documented history of salmonid presence dating back to electrofishing surveys conducted in the early 1970s, and it plays an active role in Fisheries and Oceans Canada's salmon stocking and restoration programs. While not among the most heavily documented recreational fisheries in Nova Scotia, the Chiganois offers anglers the opportunity to pursue Atlantic salmon alongside brook trout in a relatively natural river setting.
