Plan & Book

For hundreds of years, the lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have been inextricably tied to fishing. And we still take any opportunity we can to relax with rod and reel, or bring home something fresh from the sea for our supper. Whether it’s the reason for your visit, or part of a day’s adventure, we’re sure you’ll enjoy the chance to get a taste of our cultural heritage

Ocean Fishing

Experience a day on the ocean like never before. Breathe in the fresh air as you follow humpbacks along the coast. Stop to watch seabirds swirl overhead, before fishing for cod or mackerel using traditional methods. Learn to row a dory and knit a net, and then catch, clean, and cook your own dinner.
 Many of our boat tour operators offer a chance to fish or haul lobster pots, and a boil-up on the beach with lobster and mussels is a great (and delicious) way to end a day full of sightseeing, whales, and icebergs.

Experience
Angling

There are few angling destinations in the world that rival Newfoundland and Labrador – whether you’re fishing for wild Atlantic salmon, large Arctic char, record-breaking Ouananiche (landlocked salmon), trophy brook trout, or any of the other species found here. 
 Our rivers, ponds, and lakes are both novice- and pro-friendly, and our outfitters offer all types of adventures, from tent camps to deluxe lodges. We also provide exclusive fly-ins to remote, untouched areas which are some of the best in North America. Rest assured, you’ll find the right accommodations to suit your needs and expectations. 
 Visit our Angling site for more information on planning your trip, and connecting with outfitters and guides.

The View From Here

A scenic view of a wide river surrounded by dense green forests. Several people are canoeing and kayaking on the calm water. The sky is overcast, adding a peaceful ambiance to the natural landscape.
A person kneels in a river, holding a large salmon. They are wearing a fishing vest, red shirt, and cap, with a fishing rod balanced across their shoulders. The water is flowing around them.
A man wearing camouflage gear and a cap is kneeling in shallow water, holding a large brown trout. The background features lush green foliage, and the man appears focused on gently releasing the fish.
A row of fishing rods leaned against a wooden surface, with reels in various colors including silver, black, and green. The rods rest on grass and some small plants, creating a rustic outdoor setting.
A person in a boat, wearing a hat and sunglasses, is playfully holding and kissing a fish. Several other people are in the background on the boat, with one taking a photo. The scene is set on a lake with forested hills in the background.
A young boy in a life jacket proudly holds a fish while sitting in a boat on a calm body of water. Another child is beside him, looking down. Rocky cliffs and distant shorelines are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.
