Let’s go, my kiwi! Fishing finally opened yesterday and Quebec’s coveted trout are waiting for you, your catch, your visit. Haven’t found your place yet? It is not too late.
Yes, for the past three weeks there has been water damage in the woods, flooded roads and areas soaked, but in all affected locations everything has already been done to ensure that the first reception of the 12 cannot be postponed.
Did you know that in Quebec, more than 30,000 people can stay in an outfitter at the same time? It’s great, but what’s even more wonderful is that Sépaq also works for you and me in 24 national parks and 13 game reserves.
Sépaq means Society of Outdoor Establishments of Quebec and is state owned. Almost 3,500 employees and absolutely fantastic locations. Never in 40 years have our forests and waterways been so well managed, prepared and welcoming. I often say that Quebec is at its most unique, beautiful and even poetic in its forests. It is a chance that we have to live in such a paradisiacal environment. Now put your braces on, you gotta take advantage of it.
WE WANT YOU
This week I contacted the newly appointed director, Francis Charbonneau, to update you on the state of affairs at the Mastigouche Reservation, less than two hours from Montreal. He was full of optimism and dynamism. “Yes, the reserve is in good shape despite a difficult spring. We’re going to have an exceptional fishing summer and there’s still space and beautiful spots. You can tell people to book, the quality of the fishing will be excellent from the beginning to the end of the summer, even in August we are sure. »
Wow! I believe Francis Charbonneau and I have no shame in encouraging you to call, inquire, and even reserve. These rich and lush forests, these beautiful rivers, these magnificent lakes are yours. I still want to repeat it to you. Go on, immerse yourself in this rich nature, if only to have a picnic around a small fire.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
Nature is probably the one that sends the most beautiful messages by saying nothing. Understand the songs of the birds, the creaking of the forest, the soft whistling of the wind. Nothing beats it and it’s within your reach. If you’re able to catch more fish, that’s the pinnacle.
Yes, the city is teeming, but when the weather gets milder, you have to go to the springs, listen to the streams and smell the humus.
I wish all anglers an unforgettable season and non-anglers and anglers… I wish that you will be one. You live in paradise. Don’t miss it.
