  • More than gold at the end of these rainbows

    Imagine standing by a pristine river, watching a vibrant rainbow arch across the sky and seemingly lead straight into the water. It's a picturesque scene that evokes a sense of wonder and magic. But what if I told you that beyond that rainbow lies an even more incredible treasure? Enter the Atlantic Salmon – the true pot of gold at the end of the rainbow river. Why Atlantic Salmon? Legendary Beauty: Atlantic Salmon are not just fish; they are living works of art. Their sleek silver bodies, accented with spots and hues that change with their environment, make them a sight to behold. Challenging Pursuit: Anglers often describe fishing for Atlantic Salmon as the ultimate challenge. These fish are known for their strength, agility, and acrobatic leaps, providing a thrilling battle for even the most experienced fishermen. Conservation Icon: Atlantic Salmon are not just a sport fish; they are also a symbol of conservation efforts. Their life cycle, from freshwater streams to the open ocean and back, highlights the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the importance of preserving habitats. Cultural Significance: For centuries, Atlantic Salmon have held cultural significance for Indigenous peoples and communities along their migratory routes. They are woven into legends, traditions, and ceremonies, adding depth and meaning to their presence in our waters. As you gaze at that rainbow leading into the river, remember that the real treasure lies in the Atlantic Salmon swimming beneath its surface. They represent beauty, challenge, sustainability, culture, and a connection to nature that transcends mere fishing. So, next time you're planning a fishing adventure, consider chasing the pot of gold that is the Atlantic Salmon – a treasure worth every cast.

  • Angling in the Golden Years: A Journey with Well-Seasoned Salmon Anglers

    As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the serene Labrador landscape, a group of seasoned anglers gathers by the riverside. What sets them apart isn't just their passion for salmon fishing, but the remarkable fact that they're well into their 70s and 80s. At Flowers River, we've been privileged to witness the enduring love for angling that transcends generations, turning fishing into a timeless pursuit. For many of our senior anglers, the call of the river has been a lifelong melody. They recount tales of their first catch, the thrill of the fight, and the joy of being in nature. Now, in their golden years, the desire to connect with the river, and the fish, runs just as deep. Understanding the unique needs of our older anglers is at the heart of our approach. Our guides, experienced and patient, provide the necessary support while allowing the anglers to revel in their independence. Beyond what we can offer, nature offers a wonderful gift to these anglers as well. Easy wading, sandy-bottomed, and slower moving with clear waters allows those who may not be as sturdy on their feet as they once were the ability to continue to wade if they so desire. Some of our guests will take a break from wading to fish from a boat, but we are thankful that Flowers River gives the option for those who are able. Salmon fishing isn't just a sport; it's a therapeutic journey. The gentle lap of the river, the rustle of leaves, and the crisp air combine to create a healing environment. Many of our senior guests attest to the positive impact of being surrounded by nature, contributing to their overall well-being. One of the most cherished aspects of our camp is the camaraderie that forms around the campfire, or a sociable in the screened-in porch. As stories of fishing triumphs and adventures from decades past are shared, a unique bond is forged among generations. The river becomes a bridge, connecting the experiences of youth with the wisdom of age. At Flowers River, we're honoured to witness the magic that happens when age meets the river. Our older anglers are not just guests; they're a testament to the enduring allure of salmon fishing. Through the seasons, they continue to inspire us with their passion, resilience, and the belief that, no matter your age, the river always has more stories to tell.

Come unwind, relax, and make lasting memories at Crooks Lake Lodge – your gateway to a truly authentic Labrador experience. WHAT TO pack Remembering that you are limited to 50 pounds of gear, the following is a checklist of important things to bring and we are happy to answer any questions you might have. RODS We generally recommend not to go smaller than a 9ft 5wt graphite fly rod, especially in spring flows. If you are coming during the month of June be sure to bring a 9-10ft 6 or 7wt. For the month of July, you can get away with a 9ft 5wt rod but as flows decrease, a 9ft 6wt is preferable. If possible be sure to take a 9ft 9wt or 10 weight for fishing pike in the evenings, especially in the month of July! Remember it is much easier to travel with 4 piece rods rather than 2 piece. CLOTHING Thermal Base layers Heavy Sweaters Waterproof Wading Jacket Wading Staff Winter Hat Gloves Wide-brimmed and Ball Hats Stocking Foot Breathable Chest-waders Felt Sole Wading Boots REELS, FLY LINES & LEADERS Fly Reels: Larger Arbor Fly Reels matching your rod and line weight are recommended as the season progresses as well as a minimum of 100 yards of backing. Fly Lines: We recommend 5wt to 8wt Floating Lines and for the early season, slow to medium fast Sink Tip or Poly Leaders ranging from 2 to 5 IPS. Tippets and Leaders: A selection of tippets and leaders from 1X to 5X (We recommend Maxima Chameleon 4-10 LBS) and 20 lb Wire Bite tippet. OTHER A general selection of dry flies, streamers, nymphs, and pike flies. Fly Floatant Clippers Split shot Insect repellent Sunscreen Polarized sunglasses Camera iPad Medications Travel documents Warm clothing Reading material Fly tying gear Flies CROOKS LAKE Flies you will need for your trip depends on the time of year you are coming. Fly selection can be a very difficult thing, especially if you’re experiencing conditions unfamiliar to you. Our guides provided this comprehensive list for flies for each week of fishing at Crooks Lake. WEEK 1 The fishing during week one is always action packed! Depending on our winter the hatches may start sooner or later. So it is always good to have a wide selection of flies. One this is for certain these fish will take streamers all day! You may not use your nymphs or dries, but they’re always good to have in your box. WEEK 2 As the second week starts, streamer fishing will still be consistent and fly sizes may start to decrease depending on water temperature and flow waters. The suckers will likely start to spawn creating a high protein food source for the trout of Crooks Lake. During this week we may see the first of the Mayflies. Generally, the mayflies are size 10 to 14, dark brown in colour and the hatch lasts about 2 weeks at the most. WEEK 3 Third week is the prime mayfly week, weather patterns dependant. The fish will be actively feeding on emergers, duns, cripples and spinners this week! Prepare for the slow steady rises of 4-5 lb average brook trout! If weather patterns permit, the caddis hatch may start during this week. Size 12 to 18 Elk Hair Caddis are always a staple during the hatch. Don’t go without your streamers, trolling or casting these will provide action when the fish just won’t take that #14 Mayfly. WEEK 4&5 Fourth and Fifth weeks are usually prime caddis hatch time, active fish rising to emergers and adults can be found throughout the running waters of the Upper Eagle River. In the evenings this is when you will find brook trout feeding heavily on the remaining mayfly hatch around the islands of the lake. Again, don’t be lost without a good selection of streamer patterns! WEEK 6+ As the season continues hatches will start to taper out, but larger mayfly species begin to hatch in the lakes and still waters providing great fishing. Streamers are always essential as trolling may be a last resort if fishing efforts slow in the runs. WEIGHTED STREAMERS #2-8 Woolly Buggers, Mickey Finns and Other Bucktails, Conehead Zonkers, Conehead Zuddlers, Conehead Muddlers. Popular Colours Include Black, Olive, Orange, White and Purple. NYMPHS AND EGGS #10-14 Beadhead Pheasant Tails, Beadhead Caddis Larvae, Beadhead Prince Nymph, Damselfly Nymph and Sucker Spawn DRY FLIES #10-18 Parachute Medium Dun, Parachute Dark Dun, Grey Wulff, Elk Hair Caddis, Parachute Adams, Caddis Emergers, X-Caddis, Brown Drake and Green Drakes. MOUSE PATTERNS AND PIKE FLIES 2/0-#6 Morrish Mouse, Dahlberg Divers, Unweighted Lefty’s Deceivers, Clouser Minnows. PERSONAL PREFERENCE Don’t allow us to limit your fly selection, these are just general suggestions on fly patterns. Never be afraid to bring your own creations to Labrador.

Ground transfers in Goose Bay and your room (double occupancy) at our Bunkhouse one night before and after your time in camp are included in your package. We provide coffee and continental breakfast at the bunkhouse, however other meals in Goose Bay are not provided. Please note: if you miss your charter flight into camp, or your bags do not arrive in time, getting them/you to camp will be at your own expense. OTTER CREEK BUNKHOUSE We purchased and renovated what we call “The Bunkhouse” at Otter Creek 2017 and accommodations here are now included as a part of your fishing package. We know it’s not always easy to get to Goose Bay, so we want to make sure it’s as easy as possible once you get to us.

A continental breakfast is included and there are kitchen facilities available if you’d prefer to cook a meal than to go out. BAGGAGE It is important to note that we have a very strict policy when it comes to baggage weight. This is because the charter equipment used is designed to carry a certain payload for maximum safety, and safety is our main concern. Max weight of baggage is 50 pounds per person and, unlike commercial airlines, this is NOT 50 pounds for a checked bag plus a carry-on – it’s fifty pounds, total, period. Asking the plane operator to take more can compromise everyone’s safety and that is unacceptable. We highly recommend that you weigh your bags prior to leaving home as if you are over the limit, you will be required to leave any excess at the float plane dock in Goose Bay. WEATHER Labrador weather is unpredictable, to say the least, and can sometimes be challenging. We suggest that you pack a set of warm clothes should the weather drop to the low end of the range, which would be about 5 degrees Celsius. At the same time that we tell you to pack a set of warm clothes, please remember that it’s not uncommon to see the temperature reach 30 degrees Celsius As noted in our policies weather can also affect our ability to get into camp as scheduled. Please be sure to read our policies in detail to ensure you understand what happens should there be a weather delay coming in or going out of camp. ACCOMMODATIONS The Main Lodge at Flowers River was constructed of red cedar logs some 60 years ago and houses our kitchen, dining room, and two private bedrooms, each with their own en-suite. We also have two log cabins that accommodate two anglers each, and our newest building is a stunning three-bedroom, six-person log cabin. The grounds also have a large screened-in wader room, which most evenings, becomes the center for a lot of great fishing tales. The entire property is powered by solar energy and has satellite wifi available. WHAT TO pack Remembering that you are limited to 50 pounds of gear, the following is a checklist of important things to bring and we are happy to answer any questions you might have. RODS First, we’d like to suggest that you bring at least two fly rods. The camp will have few sets of spare gear, but having an extra rod is always a good idea. 4pc rods are also easier to travel with than 2-piece rods. Rods should be 8 1/2′ – 10′ designed for 7 – 9 weight floating lines. If you use a two-handed rod, the Flowers is an ideal spot for you. Rarely do we have a problem with close quarters for back casts and under average water conditions, we have some pretty large pools. Two-handed rods, including switch and Spey rods, are useful on some pools. Rods ranging from 10 1/2′ – 13′, casting light Scandi heads in the 390-480 gram weights, are the most useful. Our pools are very “quiet”, so touch-and-go Scandi casts are favored over the Skagit style, water-born casts. WADERS & RAIN GEAR Waders are an important part of your tackle. Please make sure your waders don’t leak before starting out on your trip. The Flowers is an easy river to wade and most wading soles will work well. Chest waders are preferred over hip waders. Just as waders are important, so is your rain gear. There is nothing worse than being cold and miserable on the river. Bring a good set of rain gear or a good-quality wading jacket. REELS, FLY LINES & LEADERS Reels should have a good drag system and should be outfitted with a minimum of 100 yards of backing, 200 would be better. Floating fly lines are the norm and, again, 7-9 weights matched to your rod are ideal. Leaders again are a personal thing, in that some anglers choose to use tapered leaders and some use straight. You should have 6 – 12 pound tippet, which will provide for whatever the water conditions are when you arrive. Tapered or not tapered is up to you, keeping in mind that tapered leaders are easier to turn over and as such usually lead to a better presentation of the fly. OTHER Ball cap or wide-brimmed hat Wearable Bug netting if desired. Insect repellent Sunscreen Polarized sunglasses Camera iPad Medications Travel documents Warm clothing Reading material Fly tying gear Flies FLOWERS RIVER Pictured here are most of the popular patterns you’ll need at Flowers River. I say most of the time, because someone always seems to be inventing a new one that works well. Come equipped with these and you will be good to go. SIZE TIES ON SITE You’ll note that looking at the pictures above that we use some pretty small flies at Flowers. Make sure when you’re getting prepared, you have some smaller sizes, both in wets and dries. Not uncommon for us to use flies in sizes down to 10’s and 12’s. If you run short or need something special, several of our guides are world class fly tiers who will be happy to sell you flies at the camp. Keep in mind that they spend long days on the river and don’t have that much time to tie, so come prepared and use them for back up. ORDERING FLIES IN ADVANCE If you’d like to order flies in advance of your trip, Daryl Burry or Brian Sweeney will be happy to fill your order and have it waiting at the lodge for you. Please note that fly orders will have to be placed well in advance of the season to insure that your order is ready. Daryl Burry salmonghillie.db@gmail.com Brian Sweeny bsweeney@eastlink.ca BARBLESS HOOKS Angling for Atlantic Salmon in Newfoundland and Labrador is only permitted with the use of a single barbless hook. This is a government regulation and the enforcement of same will be strictly regulated at Camp. Please make sure that your barbs are pinched before you get to camp and please make sure to bring a good pair of pliers, just in case. PREFERRED SUPPLIERS If you’re having difficulty sourcing equipment for your trip, the following suppliers are ones that we have dealt with in the past and will be able to assist you in getting ready. The Tying Scotsman Fishing Fever Fly and Tackle Shop WW Doak and Son Minipi Outfitters FLOWERS LOWER RIVER Adventure For the past several seasons, we have been exploring a section of river downriver from the Main Lodge and the waters we traditionally fish. In 2020, we built a tent camp space and made booking available for two rods. We need to let you know that this is roughing it. Your accommodations will be a well-appointed tent camp, complete with bunks, mattresses, wood stove and cook stove. The tent is surrounded by a bear fence. We have added an outhouse and shower facility. On the last night of your trip, you will be taken by hovercraft back to the main camp. You will sleep in our bunkroom and enjoy a late dinner in the dining room and the opportunity to share stories with other anglers. You will access the the lower river by way of our hovercraft and once dropped off, you and your guide will have a 20’ canoe and motor, with which to visit the many pools and runs. You will also be responsible to help with Camp chores such as cooking, dishwashing, and firewood gathering. We will have communication devices available, so that there will always be contact with the main Lodge, and have added Starlink Internet Service as well. If the above description seems a little harsh, it’s because we wanted to paint a very clear picture of what to expect. However, you can also expect an incredible experience. Imagine this: you will be camped out in the pure true wilderness of Labrador and have unlimited access to an entire section of river that the rest of our guests cannot fish. Come and go as you please, relax when you want and fish when you want. Step outside the camp into the water and fish, or explore the lower river. As a reminder, there is no private water in all of Newfoundland and Labrador. The inaccessibility of Flowers River makes it difficult for anyone other than our guests to get there, however it’s not impossible. We make this statement as there may be times in your Downriver Adventure where you encounter another angler or two. **Downriver Pricing is the same as Main Camp Pricing** For further details or to make a booking, please contact Heather at labradorlodges@gmail.com or call at 902-830-8593 . !
