Fishing for salmon is by far the biggest challenge a fisherman can face in Canadian rivers. Some do it for combat and others for connection with nature. The simple fact of being outside and thinking of nothing more than to throw your next cast, provides an indescribable well-being. The fishermen often say that salmon is the 1000 cast fish. A sense of accomplishment will be felt and you will develop an addiction.
Fly fishing over time becomes much more than a simple activity, but a way of life and a passion. Come and enjoy discovering the salmon paradise in a majestic setting that the rivers of the Gaspé bring to you. Come and meet the king of the rivers.
