I spend a lot of time on the Middle River fishing for Smallmouth Bass and wanted to dedicated a serious of caches to this wonderful area of Pictou County.
LOCH BROOM, Pictou County.... This rural area is located on a point of land between the West and Middle Rivers, on Pictou Harbour. It was named after Loch Broom, Ross-shire, Scotland, by Alexander Cameron, a native of that parish, who came to Pictou in the Hector in 1773 and settled here soon afterward. One of the first two churches in the county was built near here on the West River in the summer of 1787. A new school-house was built in 1882. The branch railway from Stellarton to Pictou was begun in June, 1886, opened November 28, 1887. Population in 1956 was 90.
Cache should be approached from water but can be done by land. A boat, kayak or canoe that does not require a boat slip can be launched at the end of Sylvester Station Road. Any boats that require a boat slip can be launched just off of Pump House Road which is just off of Granton Abercrombie road. (Be sure to read notes on boat launches before attempting cache.)
Be sure to wear your PFD and make sure you have the required boating safety equipment in your vessel at all times. You can check the following link to make sure you have the required equipment. (visit link)
While you are on the water be sure to venture around the damn and check out the rest of the caches I have placed. If you have brought your fishing rod there is a very healthy population of small mouth bass here. You may see me on the water fishing. If you see a guy in a blue and white 14 foot boat catching lots of fish be sure to wave to me.
Good luck and enjoy the damn.
