Salmon Hole Lodge

Salmon Hole Lodge sits on the La Poile River in southwestern Newfoundland, accessible only by coastal ferry and boat transport from Rose Blanche. The lodge accommodates six guests in six rooms and runs guided fly-fishing trips exclusively during the summer months (mid-June through August), when Atlantic salmon enter the river and sea-run brook trout migrate upstream from the Atlantic. The operation is designated an Atlantic Salmon Federation Live Release Camp, reflecting its commitment…

The fishing year at Salmon Hole Lodge is defined by the runs of Atlantic Salmon and the presence of sea-run Brook Trout. The season kicks off in mid-June, with the arrival of Atlantic Salmon, offering excellent opportunities for both seasoned anglers and newcomers alike. This prime salmon fishing continues through July. As July progresses into August, the focus shifts slightly as wild sea-run Brook Trout begin their journey up the La Poile River from the Atlantic, providing a different, yet equally exciting, angling experience. The remote, low-pressure environment of the La Poile River ensures that these fish, particularly the Atlantic Salmon, are eager to take a fly, making the entire summer season a prime time for a memorable wilderness fly-fishing adventure.
