When I started in the industry, outfitters were only hunting and fishing destinations, which only offered services for these amateurs, without too much comfort. Today, they have succeeded in developing an offer that meets the expectations of people looking for more than just a forest experience.

In recent years, a stay in an outfitter has become synonymous with an adventure in nature which allows you to fish, that's for sure, but also to go further by practicing very interesting complementary activities, which will delight all members. of the family.

Thus, in addition to fishing, which remains the basic activity of these territories, it is possible to practice hiking, water activities such as swimming with beaches and water games, nature observation and even guided horseback riding in some places. Kayaks and pedal boats are also included. Outfitters are in the best position to help you discover their territory and the nature that surrounds them.

For fishing, the choice of species is very impressive on the territory of the outfitters. They provide you with more than 20,000 bodies of water that contain the most popular species, such as speckled trout, walleye, northern pike and many others. Outfitters have more than 4,500 accommodation units.

DIFFERENT ACCOMMODATIONS

In the past, all cabins were made of logs, with an outhouse in the back. It was really basic.

Over time, all outfitters have come to offer much more and much better accommodation and comfort for amateurs. Today, there are cabins, inns, yurts, ready-to-camp, a more diversified offer that can accommodate all types of clientele.

A fine example are the houseboats that have been the pride of the outfitters who offer their services at Gouin Reservoir for several years.

To have experienced it at the Montagnard outfitter, you have to try this experience. Moving on the water with a floating chalet is unique. With the services offered by the provider, it is easy to do so.

This season, La Barrière outfitter will also offer houseboats that will be fixed on the main lake. You can live on the water.

We can give other examples such as the new chalets of the Mekoos outfitter or the peaceful life on the La Corneille peninsula in the Mingan archipelago. Four outfitters, Club Chasse et Pêche Stramond, Domaine Bryson, Pavillon Wapus and Pourvoirie Mer Bleue, all located in the Outaouais, offer an experience of discovery of edible forest products or local terroir.

There is an ideal tool on the Federation website, which will allow you to discover the destination of your choice, depending on what you are looking for.
