I'm a beginner fly fisherman. Will I be able to fish
well enough to catch trophy fish at Osprey Lake Lodge?
Absolutely. Most fish at Osprey are caught less than 30 feet
from the boat. These big trout are not especially leader shy
and a reasonable presentation will bring a rise. Trolling is
also permitted and can often prove more productive than
casting. Your guides are accustomed to all levels of fly
fisherman and will be more than happy to help a serious
beginner.
What should I take for gear on my Osprey trip?
Rods should be 8' to 9', 6 to 8 weight, with floating and sinking line. A variety of tippet sizes are a must from 2X up
to 7X. Waders are not necessary since most of the fishing is
done from shore or boat. Click here for a more detailed gear
list.
I have a health condition which prevents me from walking
great distances. Can I still fish at Osprey?
Yes. Most
of the fishing is done from a boat. There are a few areas
for the more adventurous where walking is required. The
guides are more than happy to work around health limitations
and provide you a fantastic trip.
Are there any hidden costs?
Other than your travel
to / lodging in Goose Bay, beverages of choice and
gratuities, there are no additional expenses. Once you climb
aboard the floatplane in Goose Bay, you can relax and enjoy
yourself.

Are there exceptions to your catch and release policy?
Generally no, all fish caught must be gently handled and
released. This policy
is in place to preserve this magnificent resource for future
generations. We request the use of single barbless hooks and no tandem
flies, to insure the health and quality of the brookies. Our
guides will be happy to weigh, measure and help you
photograph your trophy fish so that a realistic replica can be
created.
