Our Operations During COVID-19

These have been difficult times for Newfoundland and Labrador salmon fishing outfitters.  After 50+ years of continuous operation, Salmon Hole Lodge could not open in 2020 or 2021 because the various levels of governments either banned non-essential travel or required all visitors to self-isolate for 14 days.  These made it impossible for our customers to plan and enjoy a 6-day fishing vacation with us.  Desperate times for sure!

As of this writing (July 2021), travel restrictions are slowly being lifted for fully vaccinated Canadians and international travellers.  But the 2021 salmon spawning run is well underway and we won’t offer a “sub-parr” angling experience by opening our doors now.

Instead, Salmon Hole Lodge will be open in 2022 - so please keep us in mind when planning your 2022 fly-fishing vacation.  As always, we host only 6 customers per week to provide an optimal angling experience for the size of our river and our facilities.  In fact, we are now beginning to accept reservations – so please check the Availability section for the weeks that are available.  Per person pricing $3,500 + 15% sales tax Canadian dollars or $3,000 + 15% sales tax USD.  A 50% deposit is required to reserve your spot.  Angling packages start on Sunday evening and end on Saturday morning.

This pandemic has not affected the LaPoile River nor its healthy populations of Atlantic salmon and Brook Trout.  After a year or two of staying home, this is the perfect time to book your 2022 wilderness fishing adventure.  To our regular customers, thank you for not giving up on us!  Please email owner Scott Smith (This email address is being protected from spambots.
