W4F - Fly Fishing Brook Trout - Labrador Canada

[@fraserhynes6003]

I live in the Labrador city area and I love how you showcase our part of the world in such great quality and professionalism. I’ve lived here my whole life and never caught any Brookies like those.

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much for the kind words and support Fraser. You live in a beautiful area! I had plans on returning this August but unfortunately that will have to wait till next year.

[@perrymurphy4100]

Enjoyed your video. You are, without a doubt, a high energy type of guy who really gets excited by what you do. A day fishing with you would wear ME out just watching and laughing. Just great, really enjoyed it.😅

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much. You should check out the video from my last Labrador trip in 2022. It was another action packed fantastic trip!

[@jasonwilborn4709]

"Yves in the trees" is one of my the all time favorite Wish4Fish moments.

HAHA!

[@robgrubb420]

hahaha yes!

[@chasinbowsnbrowns3652]

Great video Ken ! Unbelievable brooks, thanks for bringing us along for the ride ! For those of us who will never have the opportunity to travel to such a magnificent destination, we feel the same joy when you land those gorgeous fish ! Tight lines!

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much for the kind words and support!

[@blackeaglebowmen2154]

O.K., Ken, you're Tanaka'ing my socks off. Brookies are the best...and big 'uns are even better. Will miss you at Salmon Camp this week!

[@Wish4Fish]

No doubt! Big beautiful Brookies are definitely awesome

[@adventureducklings]

Ken: "Head to the tree's" Captain: "Sure thing" Great video, looks like a great time!

[@Wish4Fish]

😂 we were talking about that last week together. The new Labrador video coming soon! Labrador is an incredible place for sure

[@jk22222sd]

Very cool man!! After recently going fly fishing with my dad in Alaska, catching Chum Salmon, Labrador or Newfoundland is on my bucket list of places to go!!

[@Wish4Fish]

Labrador is incredible! I went back in Aug of 22. You should check out that trip as well! It was even BETTER! W4F - Fly Fishing Labrador - Brook Trout at Northern Lights Fishing Lodge kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKawfKR6etZ7pLM

Love the bear swimming in the background as you’re reeling in a fish 😂😂 true wilderness.

[@Roha32jr]

Also what wt rod and reel were you using and time of year?

[@Wish4Fish]

😂 for real! Was an amazing experience. At the time I was using a 6wt. Anything will do from 6-8wt. Whatever you’re comfortable with.

That shoreline with the trees😍

[@qcarr]

Wow, great video of an amazing spot in the world! Definitely a bucket list destination - I've dreamt of Brookies like that my entire life. Greetings from Vermont, and thanks so much for sharing your adventure!

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words and support. You should definitely make it up there! Such an amazing place. I will be sure to be back up there as soon as they open back up!

[@bixby9797]

lol, never thought someone else from VT would comment on brook trout but here we are!

@@bixby9797 Hello, fellow Vermonter! I hope you're having a good Trout season despite the dry conditions!

[@bixby9797]

@@qcarr You bet! Red NEK and proud. Brook trout are still out there in the backwaters and seldom fished streams that require a hike if not the size of the ones here!

Beautiful fish.

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much. Labrador without a doubt, has some of the most beautiful Brookies out there.

Thank you very much. Oh yeah, this trip was amazing! I couldn’t even so all the fish because the video would of been entirely too long!

Thank you very much Brian

[@billygauthier9512]

Nice video! I'm from Labrador and was fishing yesterday and caught my biggest searun brook trout. A whopping 7lbs!!! It was only a hair over 24" long, but almost 16" girth! The fish pass directly through North West River where I live for 3 weeks in spring. It's exciting to try predicting the times and places where they hold up. Yesterday I was at the right place at the right time 🎣

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much. Awesome! Congratulations.

[@petrhaisman8645]

Nice video, I caught brookies and pikes on the fly in my country too. Petr from Czech, Europe.

I really liked you're trip. Very cool. But dude, bring it down a notch. Hyper brother🙃. The fishing speaks volumes. Im glad you got such a great trip, amd the fish we're biting. Thanks for sharing.

[@Wish4Fish]

Awesome! You live in a fantastic area! So beautiful up there and the incredible fishing is a bonus.

[@tightliningmd]

Gorgeous fish Ken. Looks like an epic place where we all wish to go, but few will make it. Thanks for creating a video where we can see and feel the fun in the adventure. For now my chase of the 10-12 in brookies will have to do. You get those labs for us :) Well done and tight lines!

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much

[@FishingCircle]

Adding this trip to my bucket list! That’s insane! Brookies are gorgeous, and seeing them that big is nuts! 14:10

[@Wish4Fish]

Yeah, Labrador is insane. It should be at the top of that bucket.

[@jeffreywatkin4904]

I moved to Miramichi, New Brunswick a few years ago. As soon as I saw the bomber I started smiling. It’s an Atlantic salmon killer out here and brookies love it. Awesome video man, liked and subscribed. Tight lines 🤘🏻

[@Wish4Fish]

Yeah, that was the first time I used one. When he suggested it was was skeptical but after it clearly produced over other flies I was a Bomber believer. Thank you very much for the kind words and support.

Fantastic footage of giant Brookies! Nothing like Labrador for amazing fishing and hunting. Hope you had a chance to sample the local Labrador Shrimp while you were there. If not, but it on your "bucket list" for your next Labrador adventure!

[@Wish4Fish]

Thank you very much. Yes, Labrador is amazing. Labrador Shrimp??

[@ybirch9735]

@@Wish4Fish Not many people from outside Labrador realized their is a commercial Shrimp fishery in Labrador. The shrimp are harvested from the ice cold waters off the coast of Labrador, and are very tasty! Discovered this well kept secret on one of my business trips to Labrador. If you check out the "Bigland Trapper" channel on KZbin (hosted by a well known trapper, fisher, hunter, and cook from Happy Valley Goose Bay), you'll discover this secret, and many more about the Labrador outdoors. Here's a link to one of his Shrimp Fishing videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2e8nYqifKZkfqc

To do them justice they should be called Starry Trout. Their patterns remind me of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh.

@@Wish4Fish talk about a rush man I’ve been die hard trout my whole life but each year I find the stripers just take over. My fishing plans lol . But the Saint John river in New Brunswick I would highly recommend, only ever fished the gasperau here in Nova Scotia but I hear the Saint John is where all the 50+ tanks hang out . Ormocto is a great central town on the river you can stay in to access the bigger and smaller sides of the river
