LIVE THE LABRADOR EXPERIENCE​

We fish the world for fresh and saltwater species and recognize the tremendous value of this Labrador resource as well as the soul enriching benefits that are fostered at this wilderness paradise. This river had been practically exclusive from 1964-2010. Considerable investment in conservation and science along with plenty of patience has increased Atlantic salmon returns fourfold since acquiring the Hunt River Lodge in 2010.

Science & Conservation

A catch and release policy was introduced on the Hunt River upon the commencement of the 2012 angling season. In 2014 Atlantic Rivers and LOOP entered into a collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to conduct baseline migration, redd densities, rearing habitat, and catch & release studies.
