Fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador by RV

Rules change. Seasons, closures and limits change often and can change mid-season. We link to the official pages rather than repeat them, so check them before every trip.

Licences and rules

• Salmon and trout: Fisheries and Oceans Canada publishes the Anglers' Guide with the rules for salmon, trout and other species, and the list of scheduled salmon rivers.
• Licences: the provincial angling page explains who issues inland fishery licences.
• Annual notice: see the Atlantic salmon recreational fishery notice for Newfoundland and Labrador.
• Moving boats and gear: clean, drain and dry your boat and gear between waters, and check the province's rules on moving bait and fish.

Western Newfoundland and Labrador Straits

Four areas in the west, each with the campgrounds we list nearby. Read the full Western Newfoundland and Labrador Straits fishing guide.

Central Newfoundland

Two areas along the Trans-Canada, each with the campgrounds we list nearby. Read the full Central Newfoundland fishing guide.

Avalon and Eastern Newfoundland

One sourced area on the Avalon, plus three areas where we list the campgrounds without fish for now. Read the full Avalon and Eastern Newfoundland fishing guide.

Still to come in Newfoundland and Labrador

These are not covered yet: fish for the Burin, Bonavista, Notre Dame Bay and Great Northern areas, and the rest of Labrador. Until then, the Newfoundland and Labrador campground directory lists every park we know about.
