Your fishing in Newfoundland - Labrador guide

Fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador is a dream any avid sportsman would want to fulfill. There's always a fat brook trout or a 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. Brookies that'll get your heart pounding as they send your reel spinning.

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. In general terms Newfoundland outfitters provide some of the best sportfishing available in the country.

Probably one of the best Arctic Char fishing areas on the globe is in Labrador, Canada. World record Arctic Char has been reprieved in these waters and some rivers are literally teeming with this interesting fish. There are very few outfitters in Newfoundland and Labrador that specialize in just Arctic Char fishing but most do offer Arctic Char fishing as an add on to Atlantic Salmon or Trout.

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 on major carriers. Many outfitters and lodges can arrange pickups and meet you at your point of entry in Cornerbrook, St. John's or Goose Bay, Labrador.
