Pike Fishing
at the Gouin Reservoir

If you want to capture large pike specimens, visit us at the Gouin Reservoir.

Several pikes over 10 lbs (9 kg) and some pikes over 20 lbs are caught each year.

Pikes hang out in shoals near the many quiet islands and small bays, so they are easy to fish.

On the surface, at depth, light casting, trolling and even fly fishing. All methods are effective.

The best places? As soon as you put your boat in the water!

Pikes are omnipresent at the Gouin Reservoir!!!

Some tips and tricks for fishing the northern pike

• The speed of recovery of your lures or flies must be fast.
• Grasslands at the bottom of the shallow bays with floating lures give the opportunity to put up a vigorous fight, especially in the evening.
• Use surface weed-less lures in these bays: a pike’s attack on the surface is very spectacular.
• There are so many pikes at the Gouin Reservoir that you only have to fish near any bank to capture them.
