Seriopusly, I know a fellow who has a camp on the Rapid and I understand that
it's marvelous, but still.............

Sorry to disillusian you, but I have made five trips to Labrador, and while the
fishing is fantastic for big brookies, they are no bigger than what the Rapid
has to offer. They may have *more* (and also more water), but a five pound
brookie in Labrador is the same as a five pounder in the Rapid. A friend
recently took a 9+ pounder from the river (on a dry fly, no less), and I have
taken many 4 and 5 pounders from the river in the past few years.

What is the name of your friend that has a camp on the Rapid?

heh heh - lessee here......yup, it's locked and loaded!
