The Mira River is a scenic tidal river flowing through eastern Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, draining approximately 648 square kilometres of watershed before emptying at Mira Gut. Located just a 20-minute drive south of Sydney, the river draws anglers from across the region for its productive Brown Trout and Striped Bass fishery. The river's character is shaped by its tidal nature in the eastern reaches, a chain of small glacial lakes along its southern course — all sitting less than 15 metres above sea level — and a network of tributaries including the Gaspereau, Salmon, and Trout rivers, along with Black Brook. The result is a diverse aquatic environment that supports an impressive variety of fish species and offers anglers everything from shoreline casting to boat fishing on broad tidal stretches.
