Good to know
Pourvoirie Chibougamau is a walleye and northern pike fishing destination on a European plan, set on a peninsula between Lac Laganière (8 km) and Lac des Canots (13 km), at the gateway to the Nord-du-Québec and the Baie-James region, in zone 29. Its lightly pressured lakes are known for their abundance (house records: a 13 lb walleye in 2018, a 25 lb northern pike in 2017). Two fishing formulas: fishing on the adjacent lakes, and "adventure fishing" in an expedition format that opens up around thirty little-exploited lakes reachable by ATV (anglers bring their own vehicle). Lodging is in comfortable
chalets (2 to 8 people, joinable), built in 2002-2003 and carrying a 4-star comfort-and-quality rating: equipped kitchen, running hot water, shower, wood heating and solar power. Self-catering (European plan). Owners: Patrick Bolduc and Sonia Bellerive.
Pourvoirie Chibougamau is managed by its owners, Patrick Bolduc and Sonia Bellerive. The history of the lodging site took shape in the early 2000s with the construction of its accommodations throughout 2002 and 2003. Located on a peninsula between Lake Laganière and Lake des Canots, at the gateway to Northern Quebec and the James Bay region, the company has grown to offer European plan fishing trips. Over the years, the outfitter's facilities have earned a 4-star comfort rating according to the official classification system established by the Fédération des Pourvoiries du Québec, under the mandate of the Ministry of Tourism.
Registered under number 850120, the outfitter continues its operations by offering privileged access to the region's waters for walleye and northern pike fishing.
Chibougamau Outfitters is located in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, at the gateway to Northern Quebec and the James Bay region. The outfitter’s main base is set on a peninsula bordered by two major bodies of water: Lac Laganière, 8 kilometers long, and Lac des Canots, which stretches over 13 kilometers. The entire area falls within Fishing Zone 29. The surrounding territory features a fragmented hydrographic network, made up of many small waterbodies that are very lightly used, ensuring a preserved setting where fishing pressure remains low. Getting to the fishing areas combines waterbodies directly adjacent to the facilities and a network
of about thirty satellite lakes accessible via trails. Travel to these remote lakes is done as part of expedition packages, where visitors must use their own all-terrain vehicle (ATV). To make navigation and on-the-ground orientation easier, a digital map is provided to ensure real-time tracking on a smartphone through the Avenza app. Finally, a SPOT tracking GPS beacon is available to users to enable communication in case of an emergency in the field.
Pourvoirie Chibougamau is located on a peninsula bordered by Lake Laganière (8 km) and Lake des Canots (13 km), positioning its territory at the gateway to Northern Quebec and the James Bay region in hunting and fishing zone 29. The sector is characterized by rugged terrain housing a multitude of bush lakes and bodies of water that see very little pressure. Due to low fishing pressure, these aquatic environments boast high fish density. The territory's fish fauna features two star species: walleye and northern pike. These species thrive in preserved waters subject to specific conservation rules. For walleye, the catch
limit is 8 fish per angler, in accordance with the Quebec Walleye Management Plan applicable to Zone 29. The quality of the resource is showcased by a record 13-pound specimen caught on-site in 2018. Northern pike are also abundant throughout the outfitter's lakes. The catch limit is set at 10 pike, with a conservation measure requiring the mandatory release of all specimens measuring less than 60 cm. The territory has already produced exceptional catches, including a record 25-pound northern pike in 2017. Access to some thirty isolated lakes allows for the exploration of near-pristine and preserved aquatic habitats.
Pourvoirie Chibougamau offers European plan sport fishing and outdoor stays during the summer season, from June 1st to September 30th (Zone 29). Activities revolve around walleye and northern pike fishing, with two distinct packages: fishing on adjacent lakes and the Adventure Fishing package. On the main bodies of water bordering the site, such as Lake Laganière and Lake des Canots, fishing is done by boat. The outfitter provides a 14-foot boat for groups of two or a 16-foot boat for three people, including anchors, bailers, and oars. Anglers practice spin casting, jigging, and fly fishing. Yamaha 9.9 hp motors, fish
finders, fuel, worms, and a variety of lures are available for rent or sale on-site. For those seeking off-the-beaten-path expeditions, the Adventure Fishing package provides access to thirty little-exploited bush lakes. Visitors use their own ATVs to travel across the territory. A kit including a lightweight aluminum boat and trailer is assigned per group of 2 or 3 anglers. To ensure navigation and safety in the forest, the outfitter provides a map of the territory usable in real-time on smartphones via the Avenza app, as well as a SPOT GPS tracking beacon for emergencies. Yamaha 2.5 hp motors are specifically offered for this package. In addition to fishing activities, the outfitter offers vacation stays in 4-star rated cottages (FPQ and Ministry of Tourism standards) that can accommodate 2 to 8 people.

Back from 4 nights on Lac Des Canots with my son...it's just not long enough... Top-notch cabin, equipment (electric fridge, running drinking water from the artesian well, shower, toilet, A1++ cleanliness) and what can I say about the owners Patrick and Sonia, they take great care of you and are always available. I recommend without hesitation!! I'm definitely going back... P.S. If you bring your boat: Be careful! Lots of shallow water...

Wow! We had a wonderful stay at pourvoirie Chibougamau for the 3rd year in a row. We did a 4-day expedition by ATV with trailer and motorboat. We explored a new lake every day. The walleye fishing was impressive and abundant. Very beautiful, healthy and mature walleye! Superb management and respect for Quebec lakes! The hosts, Patrick and Sonia, offered excellent service. Always attentive to satisfying our needs. Kind, very competent and well-organized people! THANK YOU! The cabin was very clean and very comfortable. The motorboats with the gear, the fish cleaning house and the grounds were very well maintained. THANK YOU AGAIN! It is a superb Quebec outfitter worthy of mention for its quality, its services and the staff who take care of it and manage it! Remarkable rigor and passionate people! BRAVO! 🤩👏

We are returning from a 5-night fishing stay including 1 day with the Adventure option. With an average temperature of 30 Celsius, we still managed to have a great fishing trip for walleye and pike. The facilities, cabins and motorboats are really clean, functional and well maintained. A very nice mosquito-free fish house awaits you. They help you out on site if needed with lures, rods, reels… Nothing but good things to say about the owners Patrick and Sonia, not forgetting the staff member Samuel who advised us throughout the stay. I recommend this outfitter without hesitation!

We are back from a 4-night stay doing adventure fishing, it was incredible. If we were to do it again, we would take more nights to be able to relax a bit. I think 6 or 7 nights would be ideal. The cabins are very well equipped, Patrick is super nice and gives us good advice. The setting is enchanting, even though part of the territory burned a few years ago. As for the fish, we had a really great catch. Big walleye and big pike. We reached our limit on walleye and were able to eat a few before leaving.
