Battle Hill Lodge – Final Week of the 2025 Season

October 14–20, 2025

The 2025 Battle Hill Lodge season wrapped up in perfect fashion, mild autumn weather, clear skies, and rivers in great shape, setting the tone for a fantastic closing week.

Anglers landed 206 sea trout, along with a handful of Arctic char, brown trout, and even the occasional Atlantic salmon. The biggest fish of the week measured 92 cm (36 in), one of many strong, healthy trout that capped off what has been an incredible fall season.

From the first runs of silver sea trout in August to the deep-colored autumn fish of October, it’s been a year to remember at Battle Hill Lodge. The camaraderie, food, and energy around the lodge stayed high right until the very last cast.

As the 2025 season comes to an end, we want to thank all our guests and guides who made this year so special. Rebookings for fall 2026 have already begun, and with many guests securing their same weeks, we recommend reaching out early to get on the waitlist.
