Hosted Trips & Travel

With your Host, Tyler Dunsmore of Fly Water Guiding June 28 – July 5, 2025

A trip to southeastern Newfoundland’s La Poile River is more than a fishing trip: it is a travel adventure to a remote reach of a scenic maritime province that doesn’t see a whole lot of outsiders.

A trip here is in ways a trip back in time to where the locals live simple, grounded lives, and the forests that cloak the river valley have never seen the saw. When lodge owner Jeroen Wohe, founder of Skeena River Lodge in the greater Terrace, BC region, dove into this latest project, it wasn’t because the river had the most fish or the largest fish; it was because it offered a truly special experience that has become increasingly hard to find in the anadromous fisheries of North America; a private experience where you will never be in competition for prime water and you will likely never see another soul.

The region is utterly roadless, the exclusive commercial tenure to the fishing rights, and the river is broad and clear and flows as it did hundreds of years ago. It is also a river where the grilse and adult salmon alike seem to prefer dry flies over wets, and where both Spey and single-handed anglers will find not only lite-tackle action but sanctuary from the bustle of the modern world. His camp is very simple, utterly unpretentious, and best suited to folks that want a contemporary taste of what the great fishing lodges of yesteryear were all about.
