Ask us about salmon and trout fishing in Newfoundland with
My Newfoundland Adventures
www.mynewfoundland.ca Here are some comments from 2008: "Bill, a fantastic trip. Nancy caught her first salmon and learned a great deal about Atlantic salmon and casting. I seen many salmon bigger than I thought they ever grew (4+ feet long!) and we hooked more fish than I ever thought possible. Here's our deposit for next year if you can fit us in again." Life long traveling salmon angler Eric Kaye, USA "Well Bill, thats it, I was drawn back here again this year and now I'm a dry fly convert. Yet another life long goal accomplished with you...this time on a bomber. Now we have to get that 30 pounder!"
Founding member of FFFD, author, and internationally know fly tying instructor, Jens Lund Adamsen, Denmark. Bill, An excellent trip! After a lifetime of fishing UK rivers I had the best day of fishing in my life (how many did we hook and release in 2 or 3 hours?). We booked a chalet at Humber Valley Resort with My Newfoundland Adventures and spent out time Atlantic Salmon Fishing. That "bomber" dry fly sure is intreguing. I'M HOOKED! They'll think I've gone cracked back home when they see me using that fly! Most importantly, my son Eoin is now hooked on fly fishing! Globe travelling fly fishing enthusiast, Cathal Walsh, Ireland Bill, it was everything you said it would be. We struck and rose too many to remember, played 28 fish and hand released 14. The dry fly IS the way to do it! We fished 5 truly stunning rivers and caught fish in 4 of them. Jenny will never forget the 20 pounder on a dry fly! I have been lucky enough to have fished globally amoung great anglers, but the guide you provided can cast a single handed rod unlike anyone I've ever seen! We'll be back! " Steve W. and Jenny C., England, UK. Overheard on some of our Rivers in June 2008....
While pointing and describing the location, the guide asks his charge, "Can you see him in that gin clear water?"...Suddenly the sport jumps back, eyes as big as pie plates and grabs the guide's arm. "OH MY! OH MY!....IS THAT A FISH!!!?" (final total count of fresh big fish in that single pool was 13 fish of estimated 20 to 40+ pounds...(yes,,3 were over 48 inches long)) While having a bonanza day, the Sport Angler casually says to his son, "Ok, go out and hook one more while we pack up; then we'll leave.

On his first day ever fly fishing it seems
pursuing the most difficult freshwater game fish
in the world came naturally to this angler.
He was still shaking when saying "what a blast!"
A seasoned angler has his brother experience "beginner's luck"
This pool almost never fails in June.
