About Our Guides
Meet some of the Best Guides on the Miramichi ...

The quality of guides can make or break a fishing trip. We are fortunate to have some of the best professional guides on the Miramichi. Our guides know our waters intimately and will help you choose the right fly to suit the water and weather conditions. Bullock's Lodge guests will experience Atlantic salmon fishing at its best.

Dan Bullock

Whether it was fishing or bird hunting to playing hockey on the outdoor rink or snowmobiling - growing up Dan knew he wanted to be outdoors. At age 10 he was cutting grass and painting boats at Tuckaway and his "official" guiding career started at age 18. Since then he has received a hospitality diploma from NBCC, worked at various lodges as well as a 5 year career in the automotive industry. Since 2001 Dan has been back on the river full time and became camp manager in 2004. Many of his fondest guiding memories are from 1992, a season spent on Russia's famous Ponoi River.

Renate Bullock

Also an outdoors girl since childhood, Renate's journey on the Miramichi began in 1966 with her husband Fred at Rocky Bend. Returning as guests each year until 1973 when they acquired river front property in Boiestown (from "Griff - Inns" Outfitter - Clayton Stewart). Since then she has become an expert on the river and behind the fly tying vise beginning her guiding career in 1986 at Tuckaway. Along the way Renate has invented her own renowned salmon fly the"RBM Muddler", been featured on CBC's "On the Road Again" with Wayne Rodstad, and landed numerous large fish including a 37 pound salmon in 1987.

Vince Swazey

He started fishing at five years of age and at nine was guiding fishermen, poling a canoe and taking his “sports” to the fishing pools. Vince continued to guide until he was through high school. Then for a few years, he tried many different jobs in New Brunswick & Ontario. . . always returning home to the Miramichi River at every opportunity. By 1961, he decided there was no place better than being near the river and returned home to the Miramichi to raise a family, & make a living at what he loved most. That spring, he took over management of Tuckaway Lodge, a business his father had started in 1938.
