    Water temperatures have cooled so some rivers have re-opened to angling.

    Parks Canada has re-opened some rivers and brooks to fishing in parts of Gros Morne National Park. Water temperatures have cooled and the Superintendent, Gros Morne National Park of Canada, reopened Lomond River from the park boundary to high tide marks at Bonne Bay (the section within Gros Morne National Park); East Branch Lomond River; and Deer Arm Brook (Eastern Arm Brook) from Deer Arm Pond (Eastern Arm Pond) to the high tide marks at Bonne Bay.
