I agree and disagree. Her first episode was good, second lacked a little and the third one was, well, not good at all and quite boring. I'm sure we'll get more pumped when she gets out west and starts getting steelhead instead of NOT catching atlantics 
as far as all 3:
little or no discussion about differences between Great Lakes, Pacific Coast and East Coast. Why might they be different? The life cycles of the 3 fish are quite different yet they don't talk about it.
limited discussion about flies and techniques
too much time spent on 'talking heads' - cheap and easy to film
too much gratuitous footage of April reading old Salmon fishing booking while reclining steam side reading a supposedly old timers Atlantic Salmon fishing book vs little talk about what the books said and what it may mean today.
She did much better in the Fly Nation episodes I watched - most without her where pretty kitschy and shallow
I hope her book matches the promise of those and her ambitions for it.
However it's not so bad as I make it sound - I just hoped for better.
I know the Miramichi runs are not doing well lately but there are other places to go - Newfoundland, the Restigouche or Gaspe for example so it could be episode 3 is just because that river has problems. Hopefully we see some good steelhead footage.
She certainly casts better than many of us!
