Fishing near St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

St. John's sits on the Avalon Peninsula, the easternmost reach of North America, where freshwater rivers and ponds push right to the edge of the open Atlantic. The city is the centre of a fly-fishing culture built around wild brook trout, brown trout, and Atlantic salmon in rivers and ponds across the peninsula, while the ocean just outside the harbour holds cod, mackerel, and cunner for anyone who wants saltwater action.
