Discover Pourvoirie Lac Goéland

The outfitter

Pourvoirie Aventure Lac Goéland sits in the heart of the 'nordic state' in Nord-du-Québec, in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region, near Matagami. Lac Goéland is 36 km long and 275 km² of natural water lined with white-sand beaches and dotted with more than 30 islands — a dream playground for seasoned anglers. Walleye is the specialty here, with success on every outing, followed by hard-fighting northern pike known for some very big surprises; lake sturgeon and yellow perch are caught too. In spring the outfitter offers an exclusive black-bear hunt (10 spots a year), available only as an add-on to

a fishing package. Lodging is in six comfortable cabins (sleeping 4 to 8), with indoor toilet, propane BBQ and a shower at the shared sanitary block. Reachable by road — 23 km of gravel past km 48 of the Billy Diamond (Radisson) road. On-site rental of 18.5-foot boats (50 hp motor). Founded in the 1970s and once accessible only by floatplane, the outfitter has been run since 2012 by Sylvain, an experienced fishing guide, in partnership with the Cree community of Waswanipi.

Its story

Pourvoirie Aventure Lac Goéland traces its origins back to the 1970s. At that time, the establishment was only accessible by floatplane, reserving its vast Northern Quebec territory for a clientele of seasoned anglers and hunters. The year 2000 marked a major turning point in the site's history with its acquisition by the Cree Nation. In 2012, to establish a partnership with the community of Waswanipi, the Nation approached Sylvain, an experienced guide working on Lac Goéland, to take the helm of the business. Under Sylvain's leadership, the outfitter initiated a major relaunch of its operations. This project resulted in significant

renovation work as well as the construction of five new cabins, aimed at offering an authentic, safe, and accessible northern stay in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region, near Matagami.

Territory and geography

Lac Goéland is 36 km long and 275 km² of natural water lined with white-sand beaches and dotted with over 30 islands. Access to lake and river waters.

Wildlife and habitat

The outfitter's territory is centered around Lac au Goéland, a vast natural body of water covering 275 square kilometers and stretching over 36 kilometers, located near Matagami in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region of Northern Quebec. This wild aquatic environment is characterized by shorelines lined with white sand beaches, a network of over 30 islands, and numerous areas conducive to aquatic wildlife, integrating both lake and river zones. Lac au Goéland is particularly renowned for its walleye population, which is the outfitter's specialty. Northern pike is also very present, offering high-quality fishing with impressive specimens hidden in the lake's bays.

The aquatic environment also hosts secondary species such as the lake sturgeon, a rare and fascinating species, as well as yellow perch. On land, the territory is home to a population of large black bears. The presence of this predator is subject to targeted monitoring to ensure population control while preserving the natural balance of this northern environment.

On site

Pourvoirie Aventure Lac Goéland offers activities centered on fishing, hunting, and northern vacationing during its operating season from late May to early September. The main activity is walleye and pike fishing, offered in basic packages for durations of three days or more, catering to groups of 2 to 8 people. Visitors can explore the lake's bays and rivers by renting an 18.5-foot boat on-site, equipped with a 50 hp motor, comfortable seats, a stable floor, and a bilge pump. Guests are also permitted to bring their own boat, provided it meets the minimum equipment requirements: at least 17 feet in

Si tu cherche un endroit où peux tu peux faire tes quotas de pêche au doré , c'est la place qu'il te faut ! 🎣 Petit chalet rustique avec chauffage au propane, il n'y a pas de douche dans les chalet mais il y a des douches commune avec eau chaude. Nous y sommes rester quelques jours ( 2 adulte et 2 jeunes enfant ) et avons été super bien accueilli et servi ❤️ Moi et mon conjoint avons aussi pris nos plus gros brochet jusqu'à maintenant sur ce lac 😊 Nous avions pris le forfait chalet avec location d'une chaloupe a moteur.
