Canadian and American high rollers say the salmon fishing here isn't what it used to be.

Many of the stations along New Brunswick rivers are recording the lowest results in three years.

Private jets swarm places like the Charlo Airport every year as enthusiasts take to the rivers.

But many say it's been disappointing.

At this time last year, many stations were reporting as much as 60  per cent higher than 2010.

Some spots along the Miriamichi had three times as many salmon in 2011 as they did in 2009 while the station at Jacquet River had almost four times as much for that period.
