Рыбалка - Newfoundland

Newfoundland’s infinite fishing potential put this island on the radar of both novice and seasoned anglers. This is a very popular, though remote destination, so coming to Newfoundland will require some preparation. Rest assured it will be well worth it!

Locals take great pride in their fisheries, both because they’re diverse and because there are fish biting all year. Anglers from all over the country come here to fish for Atlantic Salmon, as well as its cousin landlocked Salmon, also known as “Ouananiche.” Trout fishing is very popular during summer, but excellent Cod fishing is what mostly attracts fishermen to the island.

If you’re coming to Newfoundland to go after a mixed bag of fish, Atlantic Mackerel, Arctic Char, Northern Pike, and Whitefish are on the menu. You can also go after Lobster and Crab in late spring, which guarantees a seafood feast at the end of the day.

Newfoundland fishing charters base their trips on the seasonality of local species. Trips usually last 2–4 hours, but you can do a lot in that time. The weather can be fickle here, so guides organize their offer in a way that will be both fun and safe for you.

The island is not only big, but also full of hidden rivers and coves, perfect for fishing in pristine nature. If you’re looking for a local expert to take you out, Canso, Isle aux Morts, and Cox's Cove are some of the best spots to start.

Правила и положения

While locals don’t need a fishing license to cast a line, Newfoundland has very specific fishing regulations for non-residents, depending on where and how long they plan to fish. Visitors are officially required to have a fishing guide if you want to fish more than 2,600 feet (800 meters) from a highway. Sometimes charters provide all the necessary permits, but the best way to be sure is to check with your captain before the trip.

It’s slowly becoming warmer outside, and there are more and more promising fishing days. Head out to catch your fill of Atlantic Mackerel, or if you’d rather fish rivers and streams, Brook Trout is the way to go.

There’s no messing around in December – low temperatures can be unpleasant for anglers. Fishermen who don’t let the cold get them down should bundle up and fish for Atlantic Mackerel and Arctic Char.
