Camp Information

Located in Northern Labrador, 58 air miles northeast of Happy Valley - Goose Bay (Latitude: 54° 4' 60 N / Longitude: 59° 0' 0 W), Double Mer Fishing Camp offers the ultimate in fishing variety. Situated at the head of Double Mer Lake, a long sound off the eastern coast of Labrador just above the 54th parallel, the camp gives immediate access to the Double Mer River, one of Labrador's most picturesque salmon streams.

The first salmon pools are less than two miles upstream. Two other rivers are accessible via a twenty minute ride by boat. The Partridge River is a salmon stream and Cooper's Brook, with is numerous rapids, boasts some terrific speckled trout fishing. The Double Mer and Partridge Rivers are government designated salmon streams and as such, are restricted to fly fishing only. However, you may fish the estuaries for sea-run brook trout or char, as well as Cooper's Brook, with spinning gear.

While the top prize remains the Atlantic salmon, speckled trout are found almost everywhere. They are big and numerous. Silvery sea-run brook trout run even larger and can provide some real fast action. You may often catch those just off the camp dock. Arctic char offer an additional bonus beginning the middle of the season when their spawning run reaches its peak. Considering the size and abundance of all those species, Double Mer Fishing Camp offers some of the most spectacular, uncrowded and diversified fishing to be found anywhere in Labrador.

Accommodations

Surrounded by scenic wilderness and overlooking the mouth of the Double Mer River, accommodations consist of a camp, housing a kitchen, dining room - where you will be served wholesome food - and lounge. Central washroom facilities with plenty of hot water, electricity, refrigeration, and radio telephone communications are featured. Sleeping quarters, equipped with comfortable beds and clean linen, are accommodating two guests each. The camp is limited to six guests per week and the emphasis is on personal attention. Outboard powered boats are provided and a reliable guide is assigned to every two fishermen.

Equipment

Summer days can be pleasantly warm but Labrador weather is somewhat unpredictable. You will therefore require warm clothes, rain gear, Polaroid sunglasses, insect repellent, tobacco and other personal items. Soft drinks may be purchased at camp. Waders are a must and the chest high, felt soled type are preferred over hip waders. Landing nets are supplied. Bring spinning gear - with bright spoons - and fly fishing equipment. Fly patterns vary from week to week. Pack your old favorites but a generous selection of flies is always available at camp. Don't forget your camera and plenty of film; wildlife is abundant and you will surely want to record the highlights of your trip

Caribou

Labrador is home to the largest caribou herd in all of the world. The George River Herd animals number in the hundreds of thousands. Each year many hunters enjoy the thrill of successfully bagging a prize animal sporting an impressive antler rack. Each hunter is permitted to bag two animals of either sex. Due to export restrictions across borders, you may not be able to take the meat home with you. However, we would be pleased to cook you up a nice steak or roast.

Moose

Moose in Labrador are large! Free ranging and with its only predator being the wolf, it takes a skilled hunter to bag one of these beauties. Double Mer Fish Camp is proud to offer the option to hunt moose.

Bear

Black Bears are abundant here in Labrador, feeding off berries and small animals. Double Mer Fish Camp is proud to offer the option to hunt bear.

Winter Activities

Winter time brings about even more opportunities to experience the True North. Our winter packages include small game hunting, ice fishing as well as caribou hunting. In Labrador, you can experience Mother Nature at her best anytime of the year.

Eco-Tourism

Around Double Mer Fish Camp is a pristine and untouched wilderness. Enjoy the sitting in the silence of nature, listening as the lonely loon calls to its mate. At evening time the wolves sing as they raise their heads and voices to the sky. All around you are wildlife, seemingly tame in its limited contact with man.

Take a moment to hike through the woods, over the barrens and hills, stopping to watch a fox playing with its kits. Or watch as the bald eagle flies gracefully over head, winging its way to its perch high atop a towering spruce tree. As you explore the last wild frontier, pick delicious red berries or ripe bakeapples (cloud berries) - a world renown delicacy from the Land God gave to Cain.

Double Mer Fish Camp is more than just hunting and fishing. It can be your getaway from the busy outside world. Come rest and let Mother Nature breathe new life into you, rejuvenating your sense, your mind and your soul. Write a book, paint a picture, or just wander among the hills and along the shore of Double Mer Lake and her many streams and rivers.
