Réservoir Gouin — Pourvoirie Baie de l'Est

The Gouin Reservoir: Quebec’s Ultimate Wilderness Fishing ParadiseA true inland sea nestled in the heart of the Mauricie region, the Gouin Reservoir stands as Quebec’s most legendary sport fishing destination. Created in 1918 by the construction of the La Loutre dam, this massive body of water stretches over 1,789 square kilometers. It offers an incredibly rich ecosystem designed for lovers of vast open spaces and untouched northern wilderness.A Unique and Protective GeographyThe Gouin Reservoir is unlike any typical lake. Its territory is a fascinating labyrinth made of thousands of islands, peninsulas, fine sand beaches, and isolated bays. This unique geographical layout is a major asset for boaters and anglers: the endless chain of islands breaks up large waves, allowing you to navigate and fish safely while staying well-sheltered from strong boreal winds.The Kingdom of Walleye and Trophy Northern PikeWorld-renowned by fishing guides and biologists alike, the Gouin features perfect underwater structures—deep drop-offs, rocky points, and dense weed beds—that foster an abundant aquatic population. This is the premier destination in Canada to easily hit your daily limits of aggressive walleye and experience intense battles with trophy-sized Northern pike.Complete Disconnection in the Boreal ForestAccessible via logging roads through the Upper Mauricie (via La Tuque) or exclusively by floatplane to reach its most pristine, remote areas like the East Bay, the Gouin Reservoir guarantees absolute isolation. Far from urban light pollution, the night sky puts on spectacular northern lights displays, while the surrounding boreal forest remains a safe haven for moose, black bears, and majestic bald eagles.
