Heli Fly Fishing Adventure

Service Description

This unforgettable adventure begins in Halifax with a scenic helicopter flight following Nova Scotia’s rugged coastline toward Cape Breton Island. From the air, watch the landscape change from ocean cliffs and fishing villages to forested highlands and winding river valleys. Touch down in the heart of the Mountains directly beside the Margaree River, where your Cape Breton Backcountry Jeep and local guide are waiting. From here, the day slows down and shifts into river time. Spend the day fly fishing 2 to 3 hand selected stretches of the Margaree River, one of the world’s most storied Atlantic salmon rivers. Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fly fishing, your guide will tailor the day to your skill level while sharing the history, traditions, and local stories that have shaped this valley for generations. Midday, enjoy a relaxed boxed lunch served right on the riverbank. Take in the sounds of flowing water, the quiet of the valley, and the sense of being far removed from anywhere else. In the afternoon, travel by Jeep to an ancient Scottish family farm where the helicopter awaits for takeoff. Lift off from the fields and take one last sweeping look at Cape Breton’s interior before heading back, carrying with you a day defined by exploration, remote beauty, heritage, and connection. This is more than a fishing trip. It is a rare perspective on Nova Scotia and Cape Breton that few ever experience.
