The North Aspy River is a notable salmon and trout river flowing through Victoria County on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. The river drains through some of Cape Breton's most rugged and scenic highland terrain, with its upper reaches passing through Cape Breton Highlands National Park before continuing downstream toward the Bay St. Lawrence area. Known for its relatively narrow and clear water compared to many other rivers in the region, the North Aspy offers a classic Maritime salmon and brook trout fishing experience in a wild, remote setting. The river's clarity is actually an asset for anglers, as fish can often be spotted and targeted with precision, though it also means fish can be more easily spooked in low, clear conditions.
