Fishing - Mijocama Outfitter

At Mijocama, anglers have the opportunity to catch Lake trout, Northern pike, Small and Large mouth bass and Lake whitefish. Speckled and Rainbow trout fishing is also possible in our small special lake.

Lake trout throughout the territory !

Many of the Upper-Gatineau's 3 000 lakes and rivers are stocked with lake trout, the mascot fish of the region.

Lake trout is a char of the salmonidae family (char, trout, salmon...), which lives in deep fresh water and could weight more than 25 kilos (55 pounds).

Lake trout fishing is particulary popular in the Spring cold water, allowing us to capture it near the surface. At the end of June, when the water is warmer, the trout reaches the deeper parts of the lake and heavy or adapted fishing gears are then necessary.

Besides being an excellent dish, lake trout is also a coveted trophy.

Just minutes from the Mijocama Outfitter, you will find dozens of lakes with quality lake trout populations, as the well-known Thirty-One-Miles and Pemichangan lakes.

Lake whitefish

Where you find Lake trout, you also find Lake whitefish. Even though we can capture it year long, it is mostly during the Winter and the springtime, when the water is as cold on the surface as it is underneath, that people go fishing for it. In the summertime it is a discreet inhabitant of the deep waters.

Northern pike

For those who do not know this fish, the Northern pike is often called the "fresh-water shark", because of its great voracity.

During the Summer as well as in the Winter, it is possible to catch some Northern pike that are more than a meter (three feet) long.

Bass

The Outaouais region is the Quebec Small and Big mouth bass paradise and naturally, the Upper-Gatineau, one of its sub-regions, is filled with these fishes.

Moreover, in certain lakes, as the Giles lake, the Big mouth bass pullulates and is quite impressive. It is a favorite for the big sensations lovers, practicing "catch and release".

An incomparable fighter !

When the warm temperature slows down the activities of many species, bass is still full of energy, even during a heatwave. Its extreme combativity has nothing to envy the Northern pike, and it is also excellent for fly-fishing.

Fishing, a family activity !

Finally, children will surely have a lot of fun capturing yellow perch, rock bass, sunfish, catfish and once in a while, burbot (fresh-water cod).

Every member of the family likes fishing.

Ice fishing: a simple and fun way to enjoy winter!

At Mijocama, the pleasures of fishing continues throughout the year. In winter, sit comfortably at the edge of holes in the ice. Yellow perch, Northern pike and bass are waiting for your bait to offer good fighting and succulent flesh.

It is also possible to fish on ice speckled and rainbow trouts, on our stocked lake where a heated shelter gives a break to the rigors of winter between captures.

Ice fishing rods, and lures are available on site, as well as transportation by snowmobile and holes digging in the ice.
