Have you ever dreamed about floating down a pristine Atlantic salmon river in search of wild Atlantic salmon or huge sea-run brooktrout in the traditional way, with no motors, no noise except the occassional tap of the pole as it hits the gravel bottom of a crystal clear river? Have you ever wanted to sight fish to both species in the same trip? Have you ever wanted to learn about salmon and trout, their life-cycle, their habits and how to approach them? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the right place. I invite you now to explore what I can offer you on your next fly fishing adventure to the magnificent Gaspe Peninsula!

Depending on water levels we will head out to one of the three rivers in our area (Cascapedia, Petite Cascapedia or Bonaventure) in search of big salmon or sea-run brook trout in either a traditional 26' cedar strip canoe or an Old Town 20' tripper canoe for a day of sight fishing. I generally float from 5km to 15km in a day on different stretches of my home rivers. A typical angling day starts between 7 and 8 a.m and finishes when you are too tired to cast anymore, or, when we have achieved our daily catch and release limit - whichever comes first! In the early season this means long days, between 9 and 14 hours on the river and a bit less in the late season when darkness falls a couple of hours earlier.

During the middle part of the season we may even fish what we call a split day, heading our earlier to fish when the water is cooler, taking a break in the afternoon and then heading back onto the river to fish the evevening hours, which for those who know salmon fishing, are the most productive hours of the day to be on the river! Point is, I will take you wherever and whenever I think you will have your best chance at catching fish.

Note: On occasion water levels may become just a bit too low to use a canoe effectively, therefore, it is possible that we will sometimes just wade fish certain areas.
