I have stayed at Beachene 7 or 8 times and have always found it to be a special place. I have caught brook trout over 5 lbs in different years. I have caught smallmouth over 5 lbs and too many to count over 4 lbs.On a trip in2008 I think it was on a back lake we caught walleye over 30 inches every evening . I had a 19 and 193/4 pound pike and 4 walleye 32 to 34 inches on the same hump. The best brook trout fishing is a long drive from the camp ground. In my 2010 trip I had my poorest fishing of all my trips because of a big cold front were the water temp went down 12 degrees. The fishing was tough but when we got into the back lakes we went deep and caught lots of fish. I am thinking about going back to the Gouin this year or maybe try pourtrincort lake for a change but 1 thing I am sure of is that I will be back to Beauchene. It costs a bit more but you get what you pay for. One last thing I have never had to have a guide. I also have never been charged exter for trolling motors or batteries even though it is supposed to be exter.
