It was among the first establishments in the province to implement zones strictly reserved for fly fishing and catch-and-release, ensuring the long-term sustainability of landlocked salmon and brook trout populations. To preserve the site's tranquility and offer visitors an experience reminiscent of the coureurs des bois era, the team voluntarily limits the number of guests welcomed each season.
