World Class Fly Fishing
World Class Fly Fishing
Insect activity in Labrador heats up in late June with the emergence of large stoneflies and mayflies. July is caddis month when the evening hatch
can approach blizzard conditions. Mayflies predominate in August along with a few lingering large tan caddis.
By September, the weather has cooled and large streamers are the most productive. Labrador Brook trout and Landlocked salmon will pounce on a dry fly, nymph or streamer, giving you the opportunity to implore different techniques during your stay.
Lake trout and Northern pike populations are abundant and fly fishing for them can be extremely exhilarating. Large streamer patterns, fished on a floating line, imitate native baitfish. More often than not, this technique provokes a vicious, predatory strike that will leave even the most seasoned angler in awe.
The majority of Lake trout are in the 5 to 15 lb class, Northern pike range from 5 to 25 lbs. Both Northerns and Lakers must measure a minimum of 28 inches to be retained. Pan-sized Brook trout and salmon under 12 inches are fair game for shore lunches.
