Association de Pourvoirie du Lac Mistassini

Since 1975, Pourvoiries du lac Mistassini has offered trophy fishing trips on Lake Mistassini, Quebec's largest freshwater lake, in the heart of the Cree territory of Eeyou Istchee/James Bay. Unlike many destinations where you must choose a single species, here you fish all four in one trip: brook trout, lake trout, walleye and northern pike — by fly, by trolling or by line, on the lake and in the rapids. Outfitter records: 42 lb lake trout, 34 lb northern pike, 13.12 lb walleye. The operation runs two camps guided by experienced Cree, on the American plan (all meals included, including the guide-prepared shore lunch): Pavillon Aigle Pêcheur, tucked on Guillaume-Couture Island near the 51st parallel (five four-person cabins, up to 20 guests), open June 5 to July 31, 2026; and Camp Louis-Jolliet, at the mouth of the Rupert River with a panoramic dining-room view, recently renovated cabins and a meeting pavilion for groups, open August 3 to September 2, 2026. 17 ft boats with 60 HP Yamaha motors, two anglers per boat. Our Cree guides share a culture deeply tied to hunting, fishing and the land.
