Fishing near Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador


Happy Valley-Goose Bay sits at the southern tip of Lake Melville in central Labrador, and the surrounding wilderness is serious brook trout country. The Kenamu River winds through remote boreal terrain before emptying into Lake Melville, while fly-in lodges access world-class fisheries like the Minipi system and Big River. Lake Melville itself — 140 km long and tidal — supports a dynamic aquatic ecosystem that draws paddlers and anglers alike.
