Hi Folks, Just returned from Labrador fly fishing the Mckenzie River Lodge. Pretty incredible place in the middle of no where. Literally one of the last true wilderness areas in north america. Not for the faint of heart. Challenging but really rewarding fly fishing for 2lb to 7lb brook trout, 5lb to 15lb Ouananiche or landlocked salmon, 8lb to 25lb lake trout, 5lb to 15lb northern pike and lake whitefish that go up to 6lbs. We sight fished brook trout and few salmon with nymphs under Bomber dry flies. My favorite rig as I landed some of my best salmon on a #12 red thread tungsten prince nymph. We twitched mouse fly patterns for violent boils and strikes from angry salmon as well as swung and stripped streamer fly patterns in olive, black, and natural colors. All catch and release fishing and a place where most of the fish are not afraid of us as they do not recognize people as predators. Hell of a experience
and one that is logged in my brain for sometime to come. I am off to chase smallmouth this afternoon with clients. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
