Hi all, ... I realized that lots of folks are asking questions about things to do and other fishing opportunities in the area besides those on the Ste-Marguerite.

Of course Salmon fishing is not the only game around here.

In the area 99% of the lakes, streams and rivers are public open water. All you need is the Quebec Sportfishing licence.

The head waters of the Ste-Marguerite are in the Valin mountains just North of Chicoutimi. We are currently working on an article to get this drainage name as a World Heritage Site for one of the largest natural populations of Brook Trout

Most trout fishing in this area is still water, ... but imho, this is simply because there are very few fly fishers here.

The provincial and national parks in the area also offer excellent angling opportunities.

Pike and Walleye (on the fly) are also available not far from here.

The sea run trout can also be fished for in the Saguenay Fjord (salt = Pirates ?? ).

Friends who have come up for a stay have also done the Whale watching tours and seemed to have really liked that.

If you have any specific questions about opportunities in the area, ... drop me a line or reply here.

Thanx JC, ...

I decided to put this FI on the board 'Cause I realized that lots of anglers WANT to try this fishing ... but just need that little "extra pull" to give it a try.

We plan on making sure everyone has a fine time. This isn't a difficult river to fish ... imho, ... way less complicated than NE USA.

I sent out some e-mails this morning to make sure folks are aware that the FishIn WILL happen.

If you didn't get an e-mail and are interested, ... or if you would like any additional info, ... drop me a line.

Hey there Chris,
If I can retire THIS TIME, I'm gonna make BOTH fish-ins. I'm currently on my LAST project and the plan is to haul in all lines right after completion in June. The problem is that there've been LAST projects for the last 5 years and.............
We've never been in your part of Canada. I prefer to fish moving water and my motto is " if the water doesn't move, I do". So the rivers would be where I'd wet my line.
By that time, I should have my yak and could I bring it along??
Well anyway, that's the "plan". I'm not getting any younger. So little time, so much to see. I hope it works out. It would great to sample some of that camp stove gourmet fare you mention is some of your posts. Maybe even a cucumber sammich.

Chris, I thought that you as a professional forester, would have cared more about your trees than to try to lure me up there to cast in their vicinity.

I'm sorry that I won't be able to make it. maybe some year.

Mark !!

Oh man, ... Get those projects in the Can, strap the Yak to the roof rack and come up.

The Saguenay Fjord is one of the BEST kayaking destinations in Eastern Canada.

We also have sill water not far from the FishIn.

As for 'cumber sandwiches, ... That's a bit a part of the "myth" of Atlantic Salmon fishing. We go more for Chicken Pot Pie and JD for lunc

Also, ... once up here in Quebec, ... you can sample one of the local culinary specialities:

POUTINE!! .... French fries 'n fresh cheddar curds, smothered in gravy !!:

Ed, ... LoL !!!

Actually, ... the river association here and the Wardens all work very hard maintaining the trails and casting positions, ... cutting back the branches and hacking down alders to make sure anglers don't get hung up too much.

This isn't Full contact fly fishing ... the trails are all maintained and the emphasis is on relaxing and having fun (as opposed to BushWhacking) ...


The trail to the #25 (see Canada Article in 2 weeks)

Hey Chris,
After viewing the delightful " Poutine" my wife commented " maybe we should consider Toledo instead".

Mark
PS: Just how hard could it be to make a cucumber sandwich anyway?

[fcch]

JC, ... Sandwiches are too hard to pack around, ... IF and onlyIF we really wanted to do sandwiches, ...

It'd be Montreal Corned Beef on rye ... You know the ones, ... we serve it up 'bout 1/2 lb of sliced corned beef or pastrami in EACH sandwich, .... Fries and a Brew hot mustard and a dill pickle.

p.s.. ... For those of you who have't been following my antics over the past while since I started haunting this forum, ... Fishing on my home waters is a pretty relaxing experience. As you may have noticed, ... FOOD is a major part of that experience

Sounds GREAT Chris. Beats hell outta JC's suggestion.
Wife and I are making notes for a book about eating while traveling. The idea was stolen from the "Stearns" book "Eat Your Way Across the USA". So far it contains over 650 eateries ranging from ( by"accident") the cafetreia at Naples Fla.Community Hospital to the French Laundry in Yountville CA. to the Madonna Inn at San Louis Obispo CA. to Noras Fish Creek Inn at Wilson WY., the Tides in Gig Harbor WA. Well ya get the idea. We're talkin chili-dogs to chateaubriand (sp). Your corned beef sammich sounds like it could make the list. If the book is published, get ready for a new "career".
