Fall Salmon Fishing Trips in Newfoundland
Newfoundland is know for great Atlantic Canada salmon. In the cooler weather of mid-September to mid-October the fall run of salmon make their bid for headwaters of Gander River. These fish are very feisty and rise well. So you can be sure our fall season trip packages will provide you with all the excitement of landing big ones!
The Equipment
We suggest an eight-to ten-foot fly rod and 6-9 weight floating lines
with at least 100 yards of backing. We use wet and dry flies in sizes
6-10. If you have wading boots you can bring them, but they're not required to fish from the boats, just the shoreline.
Remember your camera. You'll have plenty of wilderness "photo opps."
Make sure you throw a warm sweater in with your personal kit. We supply
fishing licenses, rain gear, and flotation jackets. Our operation is fully
licensed and insured.
At your request, we'll supply any equipment you need so, if you forget
anything, rest assured you'll still be able to tackle the river
well prepared for an unforgettable fishing adventure.
Guides
Whether you choose to fish from shore or from a river boat you'll have
your own personal licensed guide* as you cast for wild Atlantic salmon and
brook trout. Your guide can give you advice on fishing techniques.(*Guiding available 1:1 or shared 2:1)
"On the way up river during fall fishing season."
