ABOUT THIS REGION  DRIVE-TO FISHING LODGES- RIVER

River fishing for Atlantic Salmon and sea trout

Fly fish for Atlantic Salmon and sea trout on the Baddeck River in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Fly fishing on Cape Breton Island, and the Baddeck River in particular, is a sheer pleasure. Committed to ensuring the resort and activities are sustainable and environmentally sensitive, your guides practice catch and release angling only. Learn the delights of casting a perfect fly or spinner. With a two-kilometer stretch of some of the best Salmon pools the Baddeck River has to offer, this lodge is an angler’s paradise. Native fish such as Speckled Trout, Rainbow Trout, and the Atlantic Salmon (the king of all fish) – are found in abundance in near the lodge. If you’re looking to explore, there are plenty of ponds and rivers less than an hour’s drive from the lodge in the Cape Breton Highlands.

River fishing for Atlantic Salmon and sea trout

Fly-fishing is more than a sport – it’s an obsession! Join your guide for two to five half-day outings to fish the local rivers and test your mettle against the feisty sea trout that range anywhere from 9” – 24” with weights up to 5 lbs. Although their crystal ball is a little cloudy when it comes to predicting exactly where the fish will be running, you can rely on your guide’s extensive knowledge for fantastic fly-fishing on the Baddeck River, Middle River, the Margaree or North River – wherever the best fly-fishing can be found! Fly fishing, like most adventures, can seem a bit daunting at first. From casting to hooking, you can spend a lifetime learning the distinctive skills and language. At this resort, your guides make fly fishing simple, creating a unique angling experience for any visitor, regardless of skill level.
