It’s full blown winter in Labrador. Everything is frozen solid and the snow continues to pile up. It is the perfect time to start thinking about casting dry flies to big Atikonak Brook Trout and Salmon! The fish will be there waiting for us and I am ready to go, are you? This year, we are offering a special like no other! Book your trip now and you will receive a free, yes I said free Orvis Helios Fly Rod! There are no catches, other than big brook trout, we are simply providing some extra incentive to come fish with us at The Riverkeep Lodge. All you have to do is contact us through www.riverkeeplodge.com and book your trip. It is that simple! Once you arrive at the Riverkeep you will forget about everything except big beautiful brook trout, salmon, pike, lake trout and whitefish. We have an incredibly diverse fishery. It’s all fly fishing in the river, although last season we did some exploring in the deeper parts of the lake with a downrigger and found there are lots of salmon and lake trout down there. I was very impressed! Riverkeep Lodge is a fly fishing only lodge and it will always stay that way as long as I am around but the Atikonak Lake is an untapped fishery that needs to be explored. Perhaps we will have to open our other lodge at the other end of the lake to offer lake trolling and downrigger fishing (just a thought). We are looking for some anglers to fish the early salmon runs in the river. Last year, the salmon run and the fishing was fantastic! We expect more of the same this season! There are some fly fishing world records to be broken and Riverkeep Lodge is just the place to do it. There are plenty of 6-9 pound landlocked salmon, the hard part is keep them on. The salmon are notorious for their explosive runs, acrobatic jumps and shaking the hook. The water levels are high and fast in early June, so if you are game we are ready. Drop us a line, send an email and book your trip of a lifetime and get a free Helios fly rod to boot!

Remember to take a kid fishing!
Hope to hear from you soon,
