Every true fishing enthusiast knows that it’s possible to fish nearly year-round somewhere in Quebec.

In our beautiful region of Mauricie, fishing is enjoyed as much in winter, spring, and summer. You can even catch fish in the fall, ensuring that all anglers find their pleasure at some point during the year.

Fishing is a sport that shouldn’t be overlooked, much like any other. The main difference lies in the equipment required for each type of fishing. For some types, all you need is a good fishing rod and a few lures. However, for fly fishing, for example, the equipment is more sophisticated, including a specially designed fly rod, a fly reel, and special line. Some anglers even tie their own flies to attract their catch, which I consider almost an art form.

During winter, particularly in our lovely village of Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade, we engage in ice fishing, specifically for small fish from the channels. This is quite different from summer fishing, as it’s done inside very comfortable and modern cabins. Another distinction from summer fishing is that the necessary equipment is quite simple and is always provided by the outfitter. Therefore, lack of equipment cannot be an excuse to miss out on a great outing for ice fishing.

In addition to fishing, our ice village offers various winter sports like skating, sledding, and even volleyball, catering to all tastes.

In summary, fishing in Mauricie brings together many people in any season. It’s simply a matter of choosing the right time, and you’re all set.
