Salmon pools on the Miramichi River system are closed to anglers for the second time this summer.

The closure, announced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, covers 32 salmon pools and went into effect Thursday. The restrictions will remain in effect until conditions approve, the DFO release said.

Under the agency's warm water temperature protocol, pool fishing is closed when temperatures reach a certain threshold. Salmon pools are deep parts of the river where salmon take refuge in colder water during high temperatures.
