I got my first “8” pounder on my birthday! Great fishing trip with a lot of rain.

“Bucket list” trip with my grandson Ben.
He beat his 3.8 lb Maine Brookie with a 5.25lb Igloo Brookie! Finally beat my Pierce Pond, ME 5.8lb with an Igloo Lake 6.6 Lb Brookie! We saw much bigger one come out of the water. Finest square tails I’ve ever seen – real footballs!

It was our first time to the Eagle River headwaters, but it won’t be our last. Igloo, Burton’s & the river all provided a snapshot of a prehistoric world where fish & wildlife enjoy an unmarred and interconnected ecosystem. We witnessed some of the most incredible hours of fishing and natural spectacle in our lives; casting giant dry flies to hundreds of rising brook trout all over 5 pounds!
We were invited to document the incredible fishery on video, and it did not disappoint.
The staff was incredible, the guides top-notch, and the amenities second to none. I think we ate better here than we have all year at home!
Thanks for the memories!

Great trip! Huge Drake Hatch!
Lots of fish – my partner and I boated over “40” in the 4 – 7 pound range!

To the Igloo Lake Lodge Family with special thanks to Jim Burton and memories of Calvin Burton. The ninth trip with Jim Burton and fourth trip to the Upper Eagle River (Owl Brook) via Igloo Lake Lodge was Fantastic!
The only downside of this trip was we didn’t have an opportunity to spend the night at Igloo Lake Lodge after “eleven” nights at Owl Brook.
The fishing at Owl Brook was challenging and rewarding: we landed two – 25lb Salmon, Brookies to 6 lbs and huge Pike!
The fishing was great – of course – but the Igloo Lake Lodge Family is Tops! No trip can go without acknowledging Jim’s beautiful yellow bird!

No words can describe the fantastic experience of fishing with and being a guest of Jim, Craig and Steve.
11 nights on Owl Brook with the Salmon leaping with Joy out of the mouth of Owl Brook. We had exceptional salmon fishing with some memorable runs by hooked salmon out 175+ yards into the backing. (40 Salmon hooked & lost / 30 landed)
The accommodations at Owl Brook were what we made them. Time by the fire with a glass of scotch between time spent hooking (and landing) some of the most majestic and strong salmon we have found in Labrador!
Thank you Jim!

Our group of 7 friends from almost 50 years ago to one new addition and my two sons came to Igloo for the legendary “Big Brook Trout.”
We were not disappointed!
Watching our green drakes floating on the surface is a sight never to be forgotten.
It was why we came and we were not disappointed!

Before I came to Igloo Lake, I had never caught a brook trout over 1lb.
Here at Igloo, I caught at least 2 brookies that would’ve beaten any Indianapolis State Record of 7lbs. Dry fly fishing for big trout here was as good or better than New Zeeland or Elk River, BC. The Lodge under Rosie’s cooking & Edwin’s guiding was first-rate. Thanks for a great week!

Amazing fishing, Good friends and wonderful staff made for an amazing and memorable experience!

To all our new friends at Igloo Lake Lodge, what can I say other than it was a trip of a lifetime. From the Lake, to the River, to Burton’s Pond – they are all equally magical in their own ways.
Fishing for these beautiful brook trout has been a dream come true. To hit the Hex Hatch and the Green Drakes on Burton’s Pond was some spectacular! To land 7 gorgeous brook trout from 4 to 7 pounds each is something I’ll never forget!!! The staff and guides are exceptional and provide amazing service both on the water and here at the Lodge. All the comforts of home here in the bush! Igloo Lake Lodge is an absolute gem and a jewel, a world class Lodge and fishery!
