The brook trout is native to Labrador streams, creeks, lakes, and rivers. It is also native to a wide area of eastern North America but is thriving in the remote waters of Labrador.

The pristine waters of Labrador offer brook trout fishing trips that are undeniably some of the best in the world. McKenzie River Lodge offers Labrador fishing trips for wild brook trout. A Canada fishing trip scheduled in Labrador offers you the best and some of the most remote areas to fish for brook trout on the continent and the world.

The Labrador Brook Trout is of dark green to brown basic coloration with a distinctive marbled pattern of lighter shades across the flanks and back and extending at least to the dorsal fin, and often to the tail. Labrador Brook Trout have a sprinkling of red dots, surrounded by blue halos, along the flank. A brook trout’s belly and lower fins are reddish in color with the lower fins having beautiful white leading edges.

The brook trout belly becomes very red or orange when the fish are spawning especially the males. An outdoorsman on a Labrador Brook Trout fishing trip can expect to catch several fish daily while enjoying our beautiful scenery. Brook Trout reach a maximum recorded length of thirty three inches and a maximum recorded weight of 21 pounds. It is unlikely that Labrador Brook Trout taken at McKenzie River Lodge will reach these limits but they are in the 2 pound to 10 pound range. 

The most predominant method of fishing for Brook Trout at this location is flyfishing.  Wading the innumerable riffles and pools in the three rivers we fish will produce trophy Labrador Brook Trout on every fishing trip. Indeed the expectation is to hook or raise a World Class Brook Trout on practically every cast.
