Walleye Fishing
Gouin Reservoir Outfitter
The Gouin Reservoir is famous for its large number of walleyes. Several trophies are fished there each year.
In the Baie du Sud, formerly known as Lac Bureau, fishing is almost as good in July and August as it is in June. Several points near the outfitter have depths of 12-13 meters, ensuring an ideal water temperature for walleyes throughout the season.
No need for a guide in the Baie du Sud, the walleye banks are very close to the outfitter. The average fuel consumption for four days of fishing ⇒20 Liters. We provide a colored map indicating the fishing pits with the package.
You have access to large bays, several rocky islands, shoals and small grassy bays for evening fishing.
