Quebec Muskie Fishing

In Quebec the Muskie is one of the most sought-after gamefish for its size and "tackle busting" fighting prowess. The geographic range of the muskie in Quebec is far more restricted than that of the northern pike and is concentrated in the fresh waters surrounding the Ottawa River, St. Lawrence river and waters near montreal. Because of their rarity and the stress Muskie undergo when captured, they are vulnerable to fishing pressure. While the popularity of muskie fishing is increasing in Quebec so is public education and the catch and release ethic that may ultimately save this majestic species.

This formidable fish has razor-sharp teeth which can (and have) ripped an unwary angler's hand to shreds in a flash. A set of spring wire jaw separators is recommended.

Slow trolling is the favoured muskie technique. Early morning, late afternoon and evening are best-bet times and don't overlook casting noisy crankbaits into weedy shallows at any time of the day or night.
