Yes, Atlantic salmon grilse from the Main and Torrent Rivers on The Rock, aka Newfoundland. We also fished the Humber, Big East and River of Ponds. The run is late starting, some say high water, some say late ice conditions, some say late spawn of capelin and others say any combination of the above. It’s Atlantic salmon fishing so theories hatched match the number of casts made. Baked salmon, roasted black bear and bakeapple sauce over vanilla ice cream was our Newfoundland feast upon returning home.

Thanks Jim - I’ve always wanted to fish for the “silver leaper” in Maritime Cabada… looking at the possibility of the Restigouche in the next year or two.

I’ve fished New Brunswick, Cape Breton and now western Newfoundland and I’d venture to Cape Breton in a heartbeat. I’ve Newfoundland clearly has the most salmon rivers and the trip logistics are the most challenging. New Brunswick and Newfoundland require guides for non-residents and Cape Breton does not. The Restigouche holds some really large fish and its tributaries are really good. Atlantic salmon fishing should come with a warning label as it can be so addictive….like hunting with Parkers!!

My lady, Dorothy has fished the Restigouche twice and we hope to do it together before we get too old. (We’re both 75 and counting.)
