Fly Fishing

We operate two fishing lodges on Big River in Labrador.  The first lodge, referred to as the main or base camp, is situated at the first rapids on the river about five miles from the North Atlantic Ocean.  This rapid area is the first obstruction encountered by Atlantic Salmon, Sea Run Trout and Artic Char after navigating the five miles of relatively slow flowing river from the ocean.  While the Atlantic Salmon and the Sea Run Trout continue up stream for several miles to the spawning grounds, this first rapids is the extent of the up-river journey for the Artic Char.

Newfoundland Salmon Fishing and Newfoundland Trout Fishing usually begin the journey into the river early July and continue up stream in great numbers until late August or early September.  The char do not enter the river until mid August.

The Great White Way camp, five miles up river from the main camp, is situated at the base of a three mile long series of falls know as the Great White Way.  These falls are the second obstruction encountered by salmon and trout in their up-river journey and offers great fishing and Trout Fishing in Newfoundland for both species from the latter half of July to the close of the season at the end of August or September.

The marshaling point for Big River is Goose Bay, Labrador, which has a modern airport and is serviced daily by Provincial Airlines and Air Labrador.
