Discover Pourvoirie Seigneurie Nicolas Riou

The outfitter

Pourvoirie Seigneurie Nicolas-Riou occupies the former Nicolas-Riou seigneury south of Rimouski (Bas-Saint-Laurent, the Saint-Eugène-de-Ladrière area), in hunting zone 2. Renowned for moose hunting — an advertised 85% success rate over managed exclusive territories (bait stations, tree stands) — it has 12 hunting zones and a moose season from 1 September to 15 November. Moose packages, for 4 hunters and one moose, are European plan and allocated by an annual lottery. For fishing, about a dozen lakes are worked, holding mostly brook trout, with the two largest lakes also home to Arctic char and lake eel; Lac des 24 Arpents is

known for its trophy-class trout. Fishing (season 15 May to 31 August) comes as day, fly-fishing, and lodging packages, several offered by lottery. Lodging is in solar/propane-equipped cabins (Lac Thom, Lac Blanc, Doucette, Débarcadère, Chalet des Guides) and at the Pavillon des 24 Arpents, a 4-star, 8-room inn that sleeps 16. Atlantic salmon fishing is also possible in partnership with the Zec saumon Rimouski, on the Rimouski River. The territory is also well suited to leisure stays.

Its story

In the spring of 2009, the Seigneurie Nicolas-Riou territory, located in Saint-Eugène-de-Ladrière in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, reached a significant turning point. The land was transferred to the Société de gestion d’actifs forestiers Solifor, s.e.c. (Solifor Nicolas Riou), a company created by the Fonds de Solidarité des Travailleurs du Québec (FSTQ). While Solifor focused its operations on forest management and development, the recreational tourism component of the territory was entrusted to a specialized regional entity. The Association des Pêcheurs Sportifs de la Rivière Rimouski was thus mandated to ensure the development, management, and promotion of all outdoor activities in the sector,

encompassing hunting, fishing, and vacationing. Under this administration, the outfitter manages the development of wildlife resources across a dozen exploited lakes and twelve managed hunting zones. Over time, the activities offered have been structured around the preservation of native species, such as the brook trout found notably in Lac des 24 Arpents, Lac Thom, and Lac Blanc, while developing fly fishing and regional collaboration agreements, such as the one established with Zec saumon Rimouski. The territory's hunting vocation has also been consolidated through sector-based management of moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, and small game hunting.
