Your Newfoundland - Labrador
fishing adventures guide
|
Newfoundland and Labrador sport fishing is a dream any avid sportsman
should fulfill. There's
plenty of fat brook trout and feisty landlocked salmon lurking in Newfoundland
and Labrador waters. Come to the last great wilderness on the continent.
The land of big fish - where anglers routinely catch and release 7 or
8 pound brook trout. Brook trout that'll get your heart pounding as
they send your reel spinning.
Better take a deep breath when an Atlantic salmon takes the fly. You're
in for a battle of skill against pure instinct. Lake trout, northern
pike and Arctic Char... they're bigger than most tipping the scales
at between 10 and 15 pounds.
Labrador is probably one of the best Arctic Char fishing areas on the
globe. World record Arctic Char has been taken in these waters and some
rivers are literally teeming with these interesting fish.
There
are very few outfitters in Newfoundland and Labrador that specialize
in Arctic Char fishing. Most fishing outfitters offer Arctic Char fishing
as an add on to Atlantic Salmon or Trout.

for your trip preparation.
In
certain areas of Labrador large numbers of lake trout are concentrated
in shallow, fast flowing water for most of the season, where they offer
fly-fishermen and light tackle enthusiasts the unusual opportunity to
tangle regularly with 15 to 25 lb. lakers. What is truly astonishing
is the sheer number of large fish. We believe that Labrador offers the
best shallow-water fishing for lake trout in North America. Certain
areas of Newfoundland also offers exciting lake trout fishing.
The hospitality of our people is internationally renowned. Whether you're
staying at one of the fine hotels in St. John's or a small inn at one
of the many outport communities along the shore, you're sure to be pleased.
Our national and provincial parks offer campgrounds for those seeking
a more rustic experience. Whatever your preference, you will enjoy it
here.
Fall
asleep to the sound of waves gently rolling against the shore. Wake
up to a shimmering sea and the cries of gulls above the harbour in search
of food. Cook your breakfast over a campfire or enjoy the home cooking
of a fine resort.
Getting to Newfoundland can be an interesting journey. You can drive
and bring your car with you by ferry from North Sidney, Nova Scotia,
leave your car behind at the ferry dock, or fly directly to a number
of Newfoundland and Labrador destinations like St. John's, Cornerbrook,
and Goose Bay on major carriers. Many outfitters and lodges can arrange
pickups and meet you at your point of entry.
