Angling
Newfoundland's lakes provide a bounty of thrills for international anglers. Whether brook trout, artic char, landlocked salmon or northern pike, guests continue to daydream about their trip to Humber Valley Resort long after their return.
Salmon fishing is a prime summer activity at Humber Valley. The Humber River bordering the resort is one of Canada's best salmon rivers. The river is a deep and deceptively fast body of water that winds through one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. It is here that competent anglers will enjoy one of their greatest opportunities to land trophy Atlantic Salmon. Fish found in this area are full sized salmon that have spent upwards of two years at sea before returning to spawn and many of the truly large ones, over 30 pounds, are unique to the Humber River. Last year over 26,000 salmon entered the river system. Locals will tell you that landing a salmon on the Lower Humber certifies you are a true salmon angler.
Newfoundland and Labrador promotes the catch and release experience. The river is fished almost exclusively from a boat, with equal success on both wet and dry fly.
In early June, visitors can watch the Atlantic Salmon jump the waterfall en route to the spawning ground upstream of Sir Richard Squires Provincial Park. ‘Big Galls’ is located north of Deer Lake and is accessible via Route 422 and the Town of Cormack. Once in the park, a viewing area and staircase will guide you to this awesome venue. This day trip is one-hour drive from Humber Valley Resort.
