The Osprey Region

Osprey Lake is located approximately 90 miles southeast of Goose Bay on a large watershed which is a tributary of the Eagle River. It flows into Black Fly Lake about one mile down stream and Black Fly flows into the Eagle River watershed.

Osprey's eight mile body of water is generally shallow with its shoreline bordering coves and rocky points with the main lake dotted with islands and shoals. Much of the lake is less than 20' deep with most areas averaging 8' to 12'. The main feed for trout are insects. The insect hatches in June, July and August are very productive. At times when the hatch is on, it looks like a snow storm coming across the lake. The evening fishing around the shoals is something to be remembered. These large trout taking a dry fly is the ultimate in trout fishing. While Osprey is visited for its big brook trout it also offers some respectable pike fishing in its shallow bays.
 

History

Osprey Lake Lodge has existed for many decades. A fire destroyed the lodge in 1995 and a new lodge was constructed in 1996. With a change of ownership in 1997, a 20' by 20' camp was constructed to better accommodate our guests. Since then hot showers and flush toilets have been added as well as many modern updates to the facility. In the near future additional features are planned including a screened gazebo for guests to enjoy.

Over the past three decades the fishing at Osprey Lake has shown continuous improvement. Amazingly fish size averages appear to be increasing with 2007 marking some of the largest fish ever caught at the lodge. The future of the lodge remains promising and Osprey Lake and surrounding waters remain one of the most amazing brook trout fisheries in the world.
