Fishing Landlocked Atlantic Salmon In Newfoundland

Down in the States, they're called “Landlocked salmon,” and tide deep in lakes. In Newfoundland and Labrador, we use the French / Indian term “Ouananiche”. Grand Lake has Ouananiche. The water from the Lake only flows through the intake to the Hydro Power Plant in Deer Lake. This is the only access they have to the ocean, therefore all the fish are considered Landlocked and they all reduce within the lake system never seeing the ocean.Grand Lake is a large lake in the interior of the island of Newfoundland, in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It has an area of 543 km², making it the largest lake on Newfoundland. Contained within the lake is the 18th largest lake-island in the world, Glover Island.
