Arrived Flowers River Sunday the 17th both thin and vested, but left fat, exhausted, sore arms, and damaged livers. Guide Doug, kept us busy and entertained with river stories!! Too much sun and too little water.... Nevertheless we enjoyed every moment!

Great River, lots of fish, water getting low. But most rivers closed in Newfoundland . Lots of love to the staff and hugs to Effie, Doug & Justin

Many thanks Jim, Kenny, Howard, Justin, Effie , Cal & Dougie for a fabulous trip. you are the best. Plus the fishing was amazing!!

Lots of food and lots of fish. I consumed much of the former and not much of the later!!!! Justin is a great guide and taught me a lot on my first salmon trip.

Why do we cherish Flowers River Lodge?

1. Effie master chef and Calvin construction engineer!

2. Cecil Boyd head guide master salmon spotter plus Karl, Ken, Howard , Doug & Justin.

3. Awesome fishing led by silver, fresh from the sea salmon turbocharged and anxious to attach to the fly.

4. Spiritual overtones highlighted by the howl of the white wolf and the pulsing Northern Lights.

5. Being one in love with Dera and with Jim Burton whose graciousness lends softness to Lodges and who cement the entire Flowers River experience into a world-class operation.

Thank you all, and may the Great Spirit continue to be your guide!!!!

Had abandoned the Atlantic Salmon for the these Pacific cousins for some years. What a splendid way to return to these Sliver bullets!!! awesome days on the river with the 3 salmon in the net in a day. Comfortable lodge with a great crew who created a home away from home. Hail Carl – super guide, Effie-super cook, Cecil the organizer and all the rest of you.

Our fourth trip and the best yet!!!! Delicious food, great company, knowledgeable and helpful guides and cooperative fish!!! Dad (General Camp.... 85 years old) and I caught three Salmon each our first day... a Great memory!! Thanks to all!!

This has been, by far, our best trip in four years. More grilse, more salmon landed and a whole lot more in the river. Justin is a thoughtful helpful guide with a remarkable ability to see fish in the river. We loved it!!!!

General Jim Camp, Morris , CT and Washington D.C.

Over eight days here of fishing... as a beginner, I caught 10, much more action then expected. Both Bob and I really enjoyed fishing with General Jim Camp.. Carl was an outstanding guide, and taught me more about casting and Atlantic Salmon than I had imagined! A fantastic experience!!!!

What a great few days this have been. Spectacular view, northern lights, and salmon everywhere! Look out St John's, I am coming back relaxed

Thanks Everyone!!!

Me again, 2nd time this year. Great fishing lots of fish but they are very picky. Hooked 10 fish and several char. Your people are great . Effie as chatty & friendly as ever. Great cooking. Boys are great Cecil, Doug, Calvin, and of course Justin I said in July he would be an excellent guide in a short time. Well that short time is over... man you have arrived!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks again Jim for a wonderful 2 nd trip!!

My fist time back since Aug 1991 and it was brought back great memories and created lots of new ones.

The river flows down and the salmon swim up. I kept casting my line without and luck. The char said mine and got on my line and made this trip a wonderful time.

Thanks Jim!!

What a week!!!!! Watching my wife catch her first char and large speckle Trout was a treat indeed. Thanks Jim and Dera for an amazing week and thanks to the salmon god's for blessing me with the chance to take 10 fish in 2 days. Twice in one summer... must pinch myself and wake up!

Jim & Dera what a fabulous week. First class all the way. What wonderful people. Fishing and food great!!! Best of all..... the memories of Northern Lights, black bears and the great white timber wolf. All enough to last a lifetime, but I'll be back. Thanks so much for your warm hospitality.

Jimmy.... what a great trip!!! In two days fishing.... Two Salmon @ Top Pool & Lots of Char!! Great friends! Thanks Again!!!

Dear Friends

A remarkable week, filled with fish, friends and fine food. I had hoped to further my son's education in the joys of nature, but instead passed them on to Cecil and Justin. To learn form the masters. Each night they returned with joy and stories and a level of excitement that only a wilderness experience can provide. You provided a wonderful spot to help our family grow and our views of the planet. And the memories we share and built will last for generations and yes, yes, yes we'll be back!

The fishing was great!!! The catching fantastic! Company very enjoyable!!! Food was wonderful! All in all, I would change nothing!!!!!!

It was perfect!! Thanks!

Truly the greatest of the great!!!! Great accommodations! Excellent food! Excellent staff offering all.... during our stay! Fishing like no other!! Many thanks!

Thanks to Jim Burton and his staff at Flowers River for the excellent hospitality and food. Lots of Fish in the pools to challenge any angler.

Many thanks to all the staff at Flowers River , Good fishing, good food and made some great Friends. Jim you own a Paradise!!!

Great Fishing! Great staff. Almost heaven on Earth. Thanks Jim!!

Thanks, once again, to Jimmy and his fantastic team of a "Dream Trip"and to Effie for her great cooking and wonderful personality. She's got the toughest job at camp, and she handles it like a pro. Jimmy like his father, is a pro, and I'm proud to call them friends.

What can I say. This trip to Flowers River Lodge was the best! Great food, fantastic friends and tremendous host. Jim Burton is to be know as the best lodge owner in Newfoundland an Labrador . Caught several salmon, lots of char and the prettiest brookies you ever want to see! Flowers River is a trip you look forward to and count the days to get there and you wish to get stuck at the lodge for several extra days. Thanks to Jim, Effie, Cecile, Calvin Justin, Dougie... for a tremendous trip.

It's been a pleasure to be part to the "Newfoundland Sportsman show" and film Flowers River Lodge. A picture is worth a thousand words, the footage we captured here this week was fantastic. These are memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Special thanks to your team, the food, guides, everything was excellent.

All the Best!!!!
