Fishing courses Quebec

Created in 1990, in the Lower St. Lawrence region, known for its salmon rivers, the Fédération des gestionnaires des Rivières à saumon du Québec, Salmon Quebec in shortcut, is a non-profit organization that represents the member corporations, the management of the territory's salmon river, the zecs, wildlife reserves and sections 36-37. The federation supports corporations in the management and development of rivers in a sustainable development perspective: accessibility, respect for biodiversity and regional development. It represents the five regions of salmon fishing: Quebec/Charlevoix/Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, North Shore, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie (from the Cap-Chat River to the Port-Daniel River) and Baie-des-Chaleurs (from the Bonaventure River to the Matapedia, River and Causapscal rivers). The federation offers accommodation, fishing trips to outfitters, a shop for salmon fishing… A very smart site!

As small as this village is, its reputation goes far beyond the borders of the region, and even beyond. It is THE capital of ice fishing (or ice fishing) with several outfitters on site. The season starts the day after Christmas, if Mother Nature allows it. There is plenty to do, not to mention the musical shows and all kinds of outdoor activities, including the Ice Fishing Festival (in February).

The fishing period runs from the end of May to the end of September. You will buy the daily fees to fish for salmon in the York, Dartmouth and Saint John rivers. You can weigh and wash your catches on site. For a top-notch experience, Pavillon Saint-Jean offers all the services necessary for a high-end fishing trip: fishing rights, exclusive access to pits, equipment, guide service, transportation, accommodation, gourmet meals with local flavours, etc. Sale and rental of fishing equipment on site.

The Inukshuk Lodge base camp is located on the shores of Ungava Bay. Here you can test yourself against Arctic char, sea trout and Atlantic salmon for an exceptional fishing experience in Quebec's Far North. For a more leisurely adventure, the lodge also offers photo workshops of Arctic landscapes, fauna and flora around Ungava Bay. Please note that the camp has a limited capacity, so reservations well in advance are not a luxury.

This outfitter is nestled on the shore of the Leaf River estuary, which benefits from high tides, bringing with it abundant schools of fish, including Atlantic salmon and brook trout, but more particularly vigorous Arctic Arctic char. Entirely operated by Inuit, the outfitter provides an authentic fishing experience, while sharing their ancestral way of life with them for a few memorable days.

Overlooking the George River, this lodge is best known for its Atlantic salmon, brook trout and lake trout fishing packages. Through its Golden Peninsula Tours division, guided or self-guided tours are also available to discover the wonders of Arctic Quebec and Labrador, in a region called the Golden Peninsula, whether it's to observe polar bears, trek over the Hebron Fjord, float down a river in an inflatable raft or even ride a fatbike across the tundra. Unique adventures!

This heritage site offers a range of outdoor activities: sea trout and salmon fishing (6-day salmon fishing package also available, salmon observatory at Pool #24; best time in July), 11 km canoe trip (the "backwaters" area is known as an exceptional place, with its surprising meanders and lush nature), hiking (easy 3.5 km trail). It is also possible to stay on site thanks to the rental service of cottages, yurts and camping sites.

Fishing enthusiasts, this is your base camp in the region. As the name suggests, there are three rivers to choose from for salmon, trout and estuary fishing: Petit Pabos, Grand Pabos Ouest and Grand Pabos Nord. For those who'd like to spend a few days there, three camps are available for rent, two on the Petit Pabos River and one on the Grand Pabos Nord River (the latter also includes a sauna). All camps are well-equipped, but you'll need to provide your own bedding. Enjoy your fishing trip!

This company has been offering exceptional fishing trips in Nunavik for over 40 years. You can fish for native speckled trout and sea trout at Tunulik II camp (Arctic char fishing is sometimes available, especially at the end of the season). Packages include almost everything, including airfare from Montreal to Kuujjuaq and transportation to the camp, but you must provide the fishing equipment (see website for details). A great reference in the field!

Located further up the Leaf River, this outfitter offers a world class fly fishing experience. The challenge is to catch the large Atlantic salmon that spawn in the pools, but you can also catch large lake trout or tease speckled trout. In a philosophy of conservation, catch and release is practiced here. As the fishing season draws to a close (September), you can also watch the migration of caribou across the river as the tundra blazes with fall colors.
