Some
60 miles to the south of Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada lies the headwaters
of the world-renowned Eagle River and our facilities at Eagle Lake
Sportfishing Lodge. Strategically located at a narrow section of the
lake, moving water directly in front of the fishing lodge yields huge
Eastern brook trout and Northern pike. Angling further afield at inlets
and outlets is provided by our sportfishing guides who will transport
you in stable Gander River boats, where you may fish from the boats
or wade the numerous pools. Eagle Lake forms a considerable portion
of the headwaters of the Eagle River. While all of the water in this
watershed is of a freestone type, limestone-like slicks are numerous,
and they are a joy to the dry-fly fisherman. Within a short distance
of the fishing lodge, anglers can fish virtually any type of water
they prefer. Brook Trout feed on stone flies, mayflies and caddis
which abound and make-up the trout's main diet.
For
the adventuresome angler there are still virgin waters to explore
in our sportfishing areas. The same is true at our sister site, Awesome
Lake Lodge, where the only species is Eastern brook trout which abound
in more than 30 miles of river.
