Spawning grounds have been set up to increase the reproductive potential of the speckled trout. A few streams and rivers have undergone developments in cooperation with Fondation de la faune du Québec.

The forest of Réserve faunique de Port-Cartier-Sept-Îles is exploited by the logging industry under Timber Supply and Forest Management Agreements (CAAF) awarded by the Québec Department of Natural Resources and Wildlife.

 

Specific Files

It would be possible to harvest over 200,000 speckled trout per year at Réserve faunique de Port-Cartier-Sept-Îles, but only 15% of them are currently fished. Thanks to quality habitats and the scarcity of competing fish species, the majority of the lakes only contain native speckled trout. The fishing conditions on this famous territory are excellent:

  • Daily catch and possession limit: 20
  • Average weight of trout captured: 180 grams (trout of 350 grams or over in several lakes)
  • Average harvest/day/angler: 8 or more (over 12 in many lakes)
