Fishing
The abundance of giant Atlantic salmon in these two magnificent rivers have elevated Matapedia to the Salmon Capital of the World and a destination of choice not just for the passionate fly fishing angler but also for hunters, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
The Matapedia and Restigouche rivers have for over a century attracted the world’s financial, political, and show business elite to our small village, including Princess Louise, King Edward VII, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Bing Crosby, and more recently George H. W. Bush, Dick Cheney, General Norman Schwarzkopt and a host of U.S. dignitaries.
Salmon Fishing Package
The daily rate for guide with motorized canoe, one or two anglers, is $275 per day. A fishing license for Atlantic salmon plus a daily access pass to the river is required. (See prices below)
Fishing hours are usually from 8:00 am in the morning for four hours of fishing, returning to the outfitter around noon, and fishing in the afternoon for another four hours of fishing. Fishing hours vary depending on conditions, season and temperature.
Anglers can stay at the outfitter or in their own RV

A deposit of half the package (before taxes) is required at confirmation of the reservation, and deposit is not refundable in the event of a cancellation by the client. Deposit can be transferred to a NEW angler at no cost, and whenever possible rescheduling ONLY during the same season at no cost to the angler. We accept Visa or MasterCard for deposit and final payment once here at the lodge.
