Fishing in Tadoussac?

[Dave Bailey]

Might be taking a few days out in Tadoussac over the August long weekend, and wondering about fishing opportunities. Probably won't go for the expense of a Quebec license, but I've heard that fishing the St. Lawrence is license free as it's federal jurisdiction. Am I correct in that assumption?

Dave,

I went there last week of August last year with my wife, 10 year old, and sister in law and brother in law.

We stayed here and loved it.

Chalet on a small lake owners were extremely nice. Cabin/cottage was clean, had all electric appliances, full bathroom facilities, charcoal BBQ, firepit ( free wood supplied), however bedding isn't supplied.

They have an exclusive territory for trout fishing however we booked a cabin for the accommodation only package for a few nights.

Location is about 10 minutes east of Tadoussac and 15 minutes west of Bergeronnes ( most whale tours go from here).

I didn't do the whale tours but everyone else took a tour and liked it .I liked this spot to watch them :

National Parks Cap de Bon Desir (just eastof Grand Bergeronnes) and

Pointe Noir Interpretation and Observation Centre (on the west side of the Saguenay River just before the ferry);

both of these are accessed right from Highway 138.

As for fishing without need of license this site says it's not required:

If I can provide any more info for you let me know.

Thanks! We'll be camping, haven't yet decided on which campground. Definitely going on some whale watching trips, haven't done that in a while. We used to go to Provincetown for that.
