The Bonaventure River

The Bonaventure River, called ‘Wagamet' (clear water) by the local Mic-Mac aboriginals, flows down from the Chic Choc Mountains found deep in the heart of the Gaspe Peninsula. It flows for 125 kilometers (76 miles) before emptying into the Baie des Chaleurs. Atlantic salmon and sea trout travel far up the main river, which is divided into sectors A-B-B1-B2-B3-B4-C-D and E. There are 103 named pools, and almost as many unnamed runs and little holding areas scattered throughout the limited and unlimited rod sectors.

-A truly spectacular river, the Bonaventure has one of the biggest runs of salmon of all the Gaspe Rivers, with over 3,000 fish returning annually. With almost ever changing pool structure the "Bonnie" offers the angler almost every type of fishing situation possible. Probably best known as a tremendous dry-fly river, the Bonaventure fishes well from about June 5th to September 30th. The river can be waded or fished from a canoe depending on water levels and sectors. We offer guide services as well as all-inclusive packages on the Bonaventure from June 5th to September 30th .
