River Bonaventure — Camp Bonaventure

The Bonaventure River is world-renowned for its exceptional water clarity, offering fly anglers a captivating sight-casting experience for Atlantic salmon. Winding through the Gaspé Peninsula into Chaleur Bay, this wild river holds strong runs of Atlantic salmon throughout the season, from early June into the autumn months. Anglers can enjoy fly fishing from traditional 26-foot river canoes or by wading, using dry flies, wet flies, or tube flies depending on water levels and seasonal conditions. Lodges located along the river, including Camp Bonaventure and The Club on the Bonaventure, provide direct access to private, exclusive pools and renowned river stretches. In addition to Atlantic salmon, the coastal waters near the mouth of the river in Chaleur Bay offer exciting fly fishing opportunities for striped bass using skiffs and bay boats.
