Fishing tips

National park or wildlife reserve?

You’ll find 95 percent of our fishing offer at our wildlife reserves. There are beautiful fish – and lots of them! These destinations provide a wilderness experience with the promise of great adventure. With their vast territories and many waterways, they’re the anglers’ favourite choice. However, you have to make sure you’re well equipped for your travels. You may have to drive for several kilometres on gravel roads to get to your waterway.

Fishing is much more relaxed in national parks because motorboat use is restricted. Around five percent of our fishing offer is found there. You can, however, combine fishing with a variety of other activities during your stay. National parks are havens for outdoor enthusiasts. The scenery is breathtaking! You should know that you’ll pay an entry fee for these territories in addition to the cost of fishing packages. By paying your fee, you’ll help protect and promote our natural heritage.

Which fish to catch?

At Sépaq, 12 species of fish share the 500 lakes available exclusively for day fishing. The brook trout is certainly the number one species. It’s the most popular fish in Québec. You’ll find it everywhere.

Before leaving

We recommend that you download the map of your waterway online or via the Avenza PDF Maps mobile application. To read one of our maps with this application, simply download the maps from the Avenza Maps Mapstore. For quicker access to the general maps of this wildlife reserve, please consult our methodology in the Information section of each fishing destination.

Also check out the day fishing plan to learn more about the species that await you and to obtain a wealth of information about your waterway.

To jog your memory:

You can print a memory aid that will be useful when you assemble your equipment.
We also recommend that you bring drinking water.
Also bring food for the entire length of your fishing day.
You must bring an outboard motor or rent one in advance if you’re visiting a wildlife reserve. Please note that super light 2.5 hp electric or gasoline outboards can be rented throughout the network. They’re ideal for small and medium-sized lakes. We also rent out several more powerful motors.
Make sure you have a fishing licence as well as proof of navigating competence if you’re considering using a motorboat. If you don’t have a fishing licence, you can purchase one at any of our registration centres. You can also purchase it online.
During your journey, you’ll probably drive on gravel roads. Think about whether your vehicle is suitable for this type of terrain.
To use your equipment effectively, take the time to review fishing knot techniques. Fear not! Our wardens will be there to help you if there’s a snag.
You can also consult the ABCs of speckled trout and walleye fishing documents, available for downloading.
