Atlantic Salmon Fishing on the Upper Humber River, Taylor's Brook, Newfoundland, Canada - Maps

 
 

Click the map area of interest below to enlarge to a sketch of the pools.  The map below is 1:50,000 scale. Note that not all pools are marked (too many in a small area) and there are hundreds of spots on this map not marked that you will want to wet a fly. The most well know pools are marked. If I missed one you think I should give away or are curious about but it is not listed; feel free to email me. Moreover, some marked locations have more than 20 spots/subpools that the fish lay (and like most salmon rivers many have a name). Moreover, some marked locations have more than 5 spots that the fish lay (and like most salmon rivers each lay has a name). Most pools and runs are only good during July, August, and the first week in September. This area is accessed through a dirt road from Provincial Hiway Route 420. The turn off is hard to miss as it is on a steep turn in the road (see map below).
Back to segment 1, and segment 2 of the Upper Humber River maps.

This is the Taylors Brook area (a tributary of the Humber River). This brook has both large mature salmon (double and multisea winter) and grilse (one sea winter salmon). 20+ pound fish are available and lately I'm hearing rumours of 30 pound class fish having been angled (we've seen sone rising). Birchy Basin Pool has easy access via a dirt road but after that you'll want a small light canoe. There are many spots to fish and some are not fished by anyone some years.
To visit Adies Stream you'll want an ATV or small canoe if leaving from Aidies Lake (many portages).
 

Click your mouse on map position/river you  want to enlarge below.  It will open a new  window with a 1:250,000 scale map or  a 1:50,000 scale map of some of the pools. There are over 200 salmon rivers in the Province of Newfoundland  and Labrador. These are only a few (but some of the better ones).  Note that not all salmon and trout rivers in this area are marked.
