Random draw - Day fishing

Lac au Sorcier, Réserve faunique Mastigouche

2025 Season

Given the great popularity of the Lac au Sorcier in the réserve faunique Mastigouche, Sépaq holds a random draw each spring for the attribution of the day fishing rights on this lake which will be open to fishing between May 30 and July 14, 2025. There are five boats per day available that can hold up to three anglers, but there's a maximum of 150 reservations for the season. Note that personal boats are not allowed.
