The Morell River is widely regarded as the finest salmon river on Prince Edward Island, flowing through the eastern portion of the province and offering a diverse freshwater fishery that draws anglers from across the region. This storied river system features multiple branches — the main branch, west branch, east branch, and south branch — each contributing unique habitat and fishing character to the overall watershed. The river has a rich angling history stretching back well over a century, with records of salmon harvest dating to 1955 and accounts of opening day crowds numbering in the hundreds. Its combination of brook trout, Atlantic salmon, striped bass, and American eel makes it one of the most varied river fisheries on the island, and its accessible infrastructure and strong conservation management make it welcoming to anglers of all experience levels.
