It's Not A Sport, It's An Obsession


The area is home to incredible fishing, infinite scenery, and unmatched wildlife.

Only meters from shore recharge your soul while watching Minke and Humpback whales play among the icebergs. Hike numerous wilderness trails and experience sites of unique Northern flora and fauna. On your adventure, stop to enjoy a handful of local berries such as bakeapples, cloudberries, or blueberries.

We want to become your number one destination for Atlantic Salmon, Sea Run Brook Trout, Speckles, and Arctic Char. Fishing is your priority and you are our priority so let us exceed your expectation and take care of all other details. Our accommodations are modern, comfortable and inviting. Cuisine will be second to none with barbecues, fine dining, shore lunches and local delights that are made to thrill the palette.

Our fishing experience is designed to take advantage of the great fishing that surrounds our lodge. The bonus is that we get to do this in the rugged, pristine wilderness that only the “Big Land” has to offer. Experience the Experience of a Lifetime With Us!!

*We are a true believer of conservation, and we are proud to say that we are strictly a catch and release fishing lodge*

    We stayed at the Big Land Lodge second week of July 2022 for seven nights / six days fishing. Lodge is very comfortable and clean with great food. The bring your own drinks bar upstairs is a great place to relax and meet other anglers. after a full day on the nearby pools. Rob and his staff did a great job and nothing was too much trouble. River was high at the start of the week and got higher. We had good fishing as the river dropped back and saw many fresh salmon running the Pinware. If you are looking for a top place to stay on the Pinware then Big Land Lodge should be the number one choice. Hope to see you next year

    Wow! What an introduction to Labrador. A place where I always wanted to go. I could not believe the ease of access to the Big Land and such a first rate fishing lodge. The drive was so scenic up through Gros Morne National Park, and the short ferry ride over was a bonus. Then when I hit the lodge the feeling of remoteness made for the perfect trip. I wanted to explore and the boys did not disappoint. I have to say that every spot we fished felt like an out of the way place that few get to experience. Rob and Matt certainly showed us awesome hospitality, and indeed you can tell that the entire staff care that you have a great time and a true Labrador experience. Thanks Walter. That was the right fly "old Walter" said to try! Thanks everyone else as well. Food was great and I think if I listen really well, the Whisky Jack Lounge is calling for another story! See you again soon. Can't wait!

    Rob, Matt and their staff offer a 1st class fishing experience. I have enjoyed fishing the Pinware for several years now, but in recent years, Big Land Fishing Lodge and Tours has been home base while in Southern Labrador. The lodge offers all the comforts of home; it is clean as a whistle; it offers a great menu; and, the staff is friendly and courteous. In terms of salmon fishing, few places offer a better chance to hook-up on a big fish. The Tidal Pool, the Chute Pool, the Boulders, Watsons, and Fellows Rocks to name a few places, all provide excellent fishing. Come prepared with a good reel and rod, and quality leader line... you will need it. If ease of access and world class salmon fishing is something that you are looking for, Big Land Fishing Lodge and Tours should be your next destination. I would encourage anyone to check them out. Fish on!

    Thanks Rob for making our recent fishing trip at Big Land Fishing Lodge such a great experience. The accommodations and food was amazing. The staff were very friendly and they made us feel right at home. Our guide, Walter, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave us many opportunities to catch big Atlantic Salmon on the beautiful Pinware River. We will definitely re-book.
