Special Fishing File: The outfitter community has adapted

When I started in the industry, outfitters were just hunting and fishing destinations that only offered services to these amateurs without too much convenience. Today they have managed to develop an offer that meets the expectations of people who are looking for more than just a forest experience.

In recent years, a stay in an outfitter has become synonymous with an adventure in nature that allows you to go fishing, for sure, but also to go beyond doing very interesting complementary activities that will delight all members of the family will.

Thus, in addition to fishing, which remains the main activity of these areas, it is possible to practice hiking, nautical activities such as swimming with beaches and water games, nature observation and even guided horseback riding in some places. Kayaks and paddle boats are also included. Outfitters are in the best position to help you discover their territory and the nature that surrounds them.

When it comes to fishing, the range of species on the territory of outfitters is very impressive. They offer you more than 20,000 waters with the most popular species such as brown trout, zander, pike and many others. Outfitters have more than 4,500 residential units.

DIFFERENT ACCOMMODATION

In the past, all huts were made of logs with an outbuilding at the back. It was really easy.

As time goes on, all outfitters have much more and much better accommodation and comfort to offer for enthusiasts. Today there are huts, inns, yurts, ready-to-camp, a more varied offer that can accommodate all types of customers.

A fine example are the houseboats, which for several years have been the pride of the outfitters offering their services on the Gouin reservoir.

Here is a fine example of a houseboat that can be found at outfitter Montagnard on the waters of the Gouin reservoir.

Here is a fine example of a houseboat that can be found at outfitter Montagnard on the waters of the Gouin reservoir.

To have experienced it at the Montagnard outfitter, you have to have tasted this experience. Moving on the water with a floating chalet is unique. This is easily possible with the services offered by the provider.

This season, outfitter La Barrière is also offering houseboats that will be moored on the main lake. You can live on the water.

We can cite other examples such as the new chalets of the Mekoos outfitter or the peaceful life of the La Corneille peninsula in the Mingan archipelago. Four outfitters, Club Chasse et Pêche Stramond, Domaine Bryson, Pavillon Wapus and Pourvoirie Mer Bleue, all based in the Outaouais, offer an experience of discovering edible forest products or the local terroir.

On the association’s website you will find an ideal tool to discover the destination of your choice, depending on what you are looking for.
