My 4-Legged Newfoundland Fishing Buddy

[Robert Goulet]

I just got back from an incredible trip to Western Newfoundland and the Northern Peninsula where I was able to get out fishing twice.

I had a pretty successful trip landing 3 Atlantic salmon grilse ranging between 3-5 lbs and a bunch of brookies, the largest being 15".

On the last day my guide took me to this great little spot where the fishing was incredible and I even had my own personal 4-legged fishing buddy accompany me for the entire 2.5 hours I was there.



She just stood there the entire time feasting on lilly pads and weeds, completely cool with sharing her pond with a stranger. If that doesn't sum up Newfoundland in one shot I don't know what does.

You may need to zoom the photo to see it better as my guide wasn't exactly technologically gifted and the idea of a "zoom button" was quite astonishing to him.

Congratulations on the grisle Atlantic salmon are my favorite species to go after. It can be frustrating at times but the scenery always makes up for it.

Sounds like a great trip.

I am heading to Newfoundland later this week but will be on the east side of the island - maybe getting out to the north central coast. I heard they have had some pretty warm temperatures and that fishing has been closed in some areas so I am not too sure what to expect.
