Salmon Fishing Imprimer cette page Envoyer cette page à un ami

Fresh Water FishingPhoto: François Rivard

The Gaspésie is a haven for fishing enthusiasts. A vast quantity of crystalline salmon rivers run everywhere through the Gaspésie. Before fishing in these rivers, you must absolutely acquire a permit and study the rules that pertain to the area you wish to visit. Permits are available from authorized agents (sporting good shops) and at hunting and fishing sites.

The Ministère des Ressources naturelles de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec publishes a series of guides which describe the regulations and the many possibilities for hunting and fishing in Québec (also available at permanent tourist information centres).  For any information regarding regulations, toll-free in Québec: 1 800 561-1616, (418) 521-3830 (outside Québec) or www.mrnf.gouv.qc.ca

An exceptional site
For many years, the Matane River has been known as the salmon fishing school in Québec. Many fishermen have caught their first salmon on this river. The Matane River is easily accessible on all its length.

Fly fishing school
The Initiation Rivière Matane program is unique. It wil help you to learn  the right way to practice salmon fishing. If you are an adventurer in search of a new challenge or an angler wishing to improve his techniques, the Matane River Fishing School is offering you the chance to do so. You can do it alone, with friends or with your family (we provide the equipment for the formation).

Observe a natural phenomenon at the dam Mathieu-D'Amours
From the coast of Greenland passing through the St. Lawrence River to the mouth of the Matane River, the Atlantic salmon travel this long journey with the sole purpose of reaching its spawning place. Two windows give you the opportunity to observe this anadrom fish at the time of its migratory pass through the fish ladder. And through different displays, it is possible for you to discover a magnificient river, populated with the king of fish: the Atlantic salmon.
