Your Fishing in Quebec guide

In Quebec, fishing is more than simply a leisure activity or sport—it’s a way of life and a part of Quebec history and roots that has been passed on from generation to generation. It’s a way of connecting with nature and escaping the stresses of daily life. Explore back country trails, unspoiled wilderness, pristine lakes, and wide open spaces during your outdoor adventure vacations in Quebec. Three-quarters of Quebec's vast territory is still wild and untouched. Imagine the peaceful solitude of fishing for walleye or trout at sunrise on any one of Quebec’s tens of thousands of lakes. You can also fish in the winter in little heated cabins on the ice, in the fall on the raging currents of rivers emptying into the St. Lawrence and in the spring and summer on the highly productive lakes and river systems.

Excitement and anticipation are part of every fishing experience in Quebec with the adventure made complete by the vast scenic landscapes and sounds of the forest. Whether you’re fishing arctic char, walleye, lake trout, speckled trout, sea trout, rainbow trout, Northern pike, muskellunge, whitefish, Atlantic salmon or one of the many other species that populate the lakes, rivers and streams of Quebec the adventure served up with a garnish of French culture will be memorable.
