 Canada, Quebec: Sea Run Brook Trout & Atlantic Salmon
Posted by greg (7869 reads)
We drove eight hours +/- to a town on the St. Lawrence seaway. Then mde a 2 and 1/2 hour Ferry ride across the St. Lawrence to a small town at the Mouth of the Trinite River. Ken, his 15 year old son and I got a cabin at the mouth of the river where it makes it's way into the Atlantic Ocean. The combination of Big Sea Run Brookies, Alantic Salmon and the natural beauty of the North Shore of Quebec makes the 8 hour drive more than equitable. There are no crowded pools or runs, you and your friends are alone every day in a wilderness area as remote as it gets. There were Atlantic Salmon and Sea Run Brookies in every pool we fly fished. The Sea Run Brookies were taking our flies consistently. Salmon, did what Atlantic Salmon always do and only ate when they felt like it. Ken's 15 year old son Garth, had a great time with the Sea Run Brookies which makes this trip excellent for young fly fishermen who need the occassional catch to maintain their interest. Our local guide was casting to rising Trout and hooked a beautifully colored Sea Run Brook Trout. The fish had more than just the fly in his mouth, he also had tale hanging from it's mouth! I had no idea that Brookies ate mice. I'll take mouse patterns next time. If anyone
out there is interested in some info about this trip, feel free to send me a private message. I would be happy to give you some info about when, where and point you in the right direction.

Re: North Shore Quebec: Sea Run Brookies And Atlantic Salmon
by jeremy http://www.fliesandfins.com | greg --- how long does that fishery hold up? still time to make a trip? leave maine at night ... fly fishing first thing the next morning ... or after the ferry ride across st. lawreence .... close enough ..
i got some mouse patterns .....
do those brookies really rip since they are sea run? any chance of 4-6 pounders? how bout the salmon? sight fishing? did they take streamers or dries?
do you have to have a guide or can you go it alone? ... let me know ... if it is a doable last minute trip for those reasons .. lets go sooner than later...
ps .. how far is the actual fishing spots from the atlantic ocean? i would imagine that the fish closest to the ocean would be the freshest?? i would love to get a fresh atlantic salmon in this region of canada ... close to home .. and i really like the idea that if the salmon are not taking .. i can fish to the greedy brookies ..
ps .. what makes conditions good and bad? in otherwords ... are water levels good now but moving towards getting too low? or are they high now and getting better? .. how does the fishing look like it is going to be over the next 2 weeks ?
ps .. can we stay on the river? thanks. |

Re: North Shore Quebec: Sea Run Brook Trout And Atlantic Salmon
by fishgolf | Greg it sounds like an awesome trip. I am heading up to the york and dartmouth on the 15th of next month. How far is where you fish from Gaspe bay? Greg do you know if the sea run brookies are in any of the rivers mentioned above? I am so excited for next months trip after reading your adventure. Keep up the good work!!! Speaking of salmon one of my good guide friends G.O. said he caught a good size king yesterday on the dsr. Time to put away the 4wt and break out the 7/8 wt.
