RESERVOIR GOUIN

Loading...

The East Bay Outfitter is located in the South Central part of the Gouin Reservoir. Formerly known as Cargair Outffiter, it is part of the network of outfitters served by Air Mont-Laurier. From there comes the expression ‘Fast Access’.

8 cabins each in their own bay ensure absolute tranquility.

Walleye and pike fishing

Walleye pits and pike bays within your reach…

Located in the East Bay at the Goin Reservoir, the outfitter offers fishermen eight camps positioned near the best fishing spots.

Access is easy and the trip on the water is short. A series of islands offer rocky shores as well as sandy points favored by walleye.

In addition, several bays have grass beds that serve as a larder for northern pike.

Dynamic fishing techniques…

The fishing season extends from mid-May to the closing of the Gouin Reservoir, in mid-September.

Throughout the season, walleye and pike respond to fishermen’s offerings. However, fishing techniques differ as the season progresses.

Water levels and temperatures challenge the imagination in terms of lures and baits. A sonar becomes essential to find depths and underwater structures.

Comfortable Camps…

The camps have fully equipped kitchens.

The stove, lighting, refrigerator and freezer are all powered by propane gas and the heating is oil-fired system.

Running water, non-drinkable, is also part of the amenities.

Comfort on the water…

The 15′ aluminum boats are powered by 15 hp motors

Each passenger sits on a pivoting molded seat, thus ensuring better comfort.

An anchor is installed on each boat.

The pleasure of relaxing in an exotic nature…

A fishing expedition would be incomplete without adding daily resourcing opportunities. Take the time to watch the birds, a sunrise and a sunset, pick berries, blueberries are abundant in the East Bay.

Stopping on a beach and indulging in a fresh walleye “shore lunch” is a must.
