Mountain Waters Resort sits on Portland Creek in Western Newfoundland, a region celebrated for Atlantic salmon fishing and nestled near Gros Morne National Park. Founded in 1946, the lodge operates six cottages plus a main lodge and runs all-inclusive week-long programs from mid-May through mid-October. The Portland Creek River and its tributaries, along with the Inner Pond, hold healthy populations of both grilse and larger Atlantic salmon; fresh fish arrive throughout the summer, creating consistent opportunity across the entire season. Guides with deep local knowledge—including Rod Brophy, a 50-year veteran—position guests on storied pools that have attracted fly-fishers for generations. The package includes accommodations, all meals, licenses, guided fishing, and airport transfers from Deer Lake; tackle is provided.

Fishing methods and approaches
The fishing year at Mountain Waters Resort centers on the Atlantic salmon run on the Portland Creek River, which is renowned for its healthy and consistent population of both grilse and larger salmon. The season typically runs from May 15 to October 15, with fishing available throughout this period. While the river fishes well in most conditions and across the entire season, the arrival of fresh, silver fish from the ocean continues throughout the summer months, offering prime opportunities for anglers. Experienced guides like Rod Brophy, with over 50 years on the water, know every productive spot, from the main river to tributaries and the Inner Pond, ensuring guests can fish the same legendary pools that inspired Lee Wulff.
