Modification of the catch and keep limit (brook trout) and mandatory catch-and-release (arctic char)

Please note that the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec (MELCCFP) is reducing the catch and keep limit from 15 to 10 brook trout for fishing activities. This measure applies as of the 2024 season and is intended to protect brook trout populations. Find out more

The Conservation Newsletter

Over 200 knowledge acquisition and natural environment management projects take place annually in the Québec national parks network. The Conservation Newsletter was developed to share some of these results. Published every year, it summarizes the main projects that took place over the past year.
