Welcome to the finest fishing lodge in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. We offer fishing in a pristine location filled with unspoiled wilderness and world class trout fly fishing that you can only dream about.

Our fly fishing trips include a charter flight to and from the fishing lodge, comfortable accommodations, prepared meals featuring home-style cooking, experienced fishing guides, and some of the best trout fishing in the world.

The Eastern brook trout fishing at Eagle River is some of the best to be found in Newfoundland and Labrador. A typical brook trout averages between three to six pounds, with some weighing in excess of 10 pounds.

Located 65 miles South East of Goose Bay in the majestic wilds of Labrador. Eagle River Trout Lodge is a wilderness fly fisher’s dream come true. We have hundreds of miles of undisturbed lakes and rivers here. The extremely limited access translates into some of the most pristine surroundings to be found anywhere in the world.

The remote headwaters of world-renowned Eagle River contains some of the finest fishing for Eastern Brook Trout and Northern Pike.

Eagle River Trout Lodge offers world class fly fishing adventures on the world famous Eagle River, Labrador.

We fish mainly all rivers thus all moving water fishing makes ERTL a very unique destination for the prized Trophy Brook Trout. The rivers are large enough that ERTL experienced guides travel the river system in our large 26 foot canoe known as the Gander River Boat.

ERTL practices an hook and release fishery only. No brook trout are retained other than an occasional injured fish that well be served along with northern pike for a shore-lunch during a full day adventure.

Barbless hooks are to be used at all times and only fly fishing in the rivers is permitted. There are times in the lakes especially in shallow areas that hold large pike we do use light spin tackle with single barb less hooks. Here at ERTL our brook trout average about 4 pounds with brook trout 6-8 pounds very common and we have landed them in recent years weighing a whopping 11 pounds.

Northern Pike on this watershed also can grow quite large and very eager to take the fly. Specimens of near 30 pounds have been landed with 15-20 pounds very common.

Eagle River’s double A-frame fishing lodge offers all aspects of home comfort for the angler. This Canadian Fishing Lodge with approx 4000 sq ft—has six double occupancy bedrooms, each complete with full bathroom facilities, including showers. Lodge supplies all bed linens, towels, facecloths and soaps.
