Lake Dégelis is the main body of water at Pourvoirie Lac Dégelis, located in the heart of the Monts-Valin range in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Famous for its spectacular natural white sand beach extending over more than one kilometer, this sandy-bottom…

For fishing enthusiasts, Lake Dégelis features an exclusive population of 100% wild, native brook trout. No fish stocking is performed, preserving the natural genetic pool in accordance with Monts-Valin regulations. The sandy lakebed gives the trout meat a distinctive, highly prized almond taste.

Discover Pourvoirie Lac Dégelis

The outfitter

Pourvoirie du Lac Dégelis is tucked into the Monts-Valin, in the greater Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region (zone 28), at the heart of one of the world's largest basins of indigenous brook trout. Its 115 km² territory takes in 52 lakes and more than 150 km of forest roads, and its reception site borders a white-sand beach over a kilometre long. Here you fish for completely wild brook trout with no stocking whatsoever: with only six or seven cabins open for about twenty weeks, fishing pressure stays light across the 52 lakes. In autumn the territory offers a high-quality moose hunt (zone 28

divided into three exclusive territories of roughly 40 km² each with blinds and salt licks, parties of 4, a maximum of 6 parties per season); two black-bear hunt and observation sites are also set up. Lodging is in six round-log cabins on the European plan, some over 80 years old, all equipped (propane kitchen and fridge, BBQ, full bathroom with shower and hot water, electricity from a generator 7pm to 10pm). For the outdoors: ATV riding, hiking trails, berry picking, swimming, pedal boats and kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals. The Deschênes family welcomes visitors.

Its story

Pourvoirie Lac Dégelis has existed for over 70 years in the heart of the Monts-Valin, in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. The estate preserves an authentic heritage character, exemplified by its log cabins, some of which have stood for over 80 years. Throughout its history, the establishment has stood out for management focused on wildlife conservation. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested over the decades to develop spawning grounds in the lakes to promote the natural reproduction of indigenous brook trout. For thirteen magnificent seasons, the outfitter was managed by Conrad, Caroline, and Charles, supported over the years by Roxane

and Sophie. Under their leadership, the outfitter established itself as a premier destination for sport fishing as well as moose and black bear hunting across vast exclusive territories. Subsequently, the family of Mr. Stéphane Deschênes took over the reins of the business. This new administration is committed to continuity, preserving this exceptional natural site, its kilometer-long sandy beach, and its heritage. The experienced team has remained in place, notably with specialized guide François-Xavier and chef Nadine, to ensure a warm welcome and high-quality service for all visitors.

Territory and geography

Exclusive territory of 114.7 km² comprising 52 lakes and over 150 km of forest roads in the Monts-Valin, bordering a white-sand beach over a kilometre long.

Wildlife and habitat

Located in the Monts-Valin mountains in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region (hunting zone 28), Pourvoirie Lac Dégelis spans 115 km² of pristine wilderness crisscrossed by over 150 kilometers of forest roads. The estate is characterized by a high proportion of deciduous trees, in contrast to the surrounding conifer-dominated landscapes. This habitat provides abundant food for moose, North America's largest cervid, whose local population shows a high reproduction rate with frequent twin births. Terrestrial wildlife also includes black bears (males reaching 135 kg and females around 70 kg, with many specimens featuring a white patch on the throat) as well as waterfowl such

as herons. The hydrographic network includes 52 lakes with sandy bottoms—a natural feature that gives the fish flesh a very distinctive almond-like flavor. The outfitter also borders Lac Dégelis and its one-kilometer-long white sand beach. The aquatic wildlife consists exclusively of 100% wild indigenous brook trout. No stocking is practiced in the Monts-Valin, and the outfitter has been maintaining and developing natural spawning grounds for over 60 to 70 years. Captured trout generally measure between 6 and 12 inches, though these waters harbor specimens reaching 24 inches and weighing 5 to 7 pounds, with a historical record of 11.5 pounds.

On site

Pourvoirie Lac Dégelis offers a wide range of fishing, hunting, and outdoor activities. Sport fishing is dedicated exclusively to indigenous brook trout across 52 wild lakes, using spin casting, trolling, or fly fishing (notably with lures like the Toronto Wobbler, Magic Mouchetée, or Lake Clear, and Streamer, Muddler Minnow, or Woolly Bugger flies). To limit fishing pressure and preserve the resource, the outfitter enforces a possession quota of 15 trout per angler and provides a fish house equipped for gutting, industrial vacuum sealing, and freezing. The Club Sélect package offers an exclusive experience on the estate with a very limited

number of guests. Regarding hunting, the outfitter offers moose hunting on a European plan in Zone 28. The territory is divided into three exclusive sectors of approximately 40 km² each (North, Tableau in the south, and Center), featuring maintained trails, watchtowers, and salt licks. The harvest is limited to a maximum of six moose per season to sustain the herd. Black bear hunting (rifle in the spring, or bow and crossbow in the fall) and observation take place at baited sites equipped with large, secure watchtowers. For vacationers and families, the site features a one-kilometer white sand beach bordering Lac Dégelis, ideal for swimming and relaxation. Recreational activities include ATVing on over 150 km of trails, hiking (notably on the La Chute trail), berry picking, as well as outings on the water in motorboats, pedal boats, or rental kayaks and paddleboards.
