Le Pourvoyeur de l'Est Canadien - Camachigama
About
Eastern Canadian Outfitters – ECO Camachigama is a true wilderness outfitter at the heart of Quebec's Abitibi-Temiscamingue region, spread across more than 230 km² of wild country. Lac Camachigama, a remote 26 km² lake that is part of the greater Camachigama river waterway, is long known as one of Quebec's premiere walleye fisheries: trophy yellow and blue walleye, sauger, northern pike and even lake sturgeon reproduce continuously here. The main camp sits on a central island, Grosse Île (Big Island), where 12 cabins offer electricity, hot and cold running water, shower, wood-burning stove and refrigerator. A short 15-minute barge ride from the landing brings you to the centre of the lake. In the 1950s, Quebec Premier Maurice Duplessis built the first log fishing camps here, which still stand today. The outfitter also offers moose hunting — self-guided or guided — from 7 upgraded outpost camps, each with an exclusive 15-to-20 km² territory, plus guided black bear hunting at the sister property on Lac Mer Bleue. Lodging is in fully equipped cabins (European plan). Access is by road to the landing, then by barge to the island camps.

Package read on /hunt-quebec-bear/ (reached from the homepage via Hunting > Hunt Quebec — trusted page). NOTE: the bear package is explicitly located '@ Lac Mer Bleue', the sister property, NOT at Lac Camachigama; it is marketed on the Camachigama site but operated at Mer Bleue. Advertised rate: USD $2,500 per person, 6 days / 6 nights (Saturday-Thursday), fully guided. The page explicitly states 'Prices in USD' — this price is in US DOLLARS (the only package on the site marked USD). priceFrom left NULL and currency null: (1) folding a USD rate into the directory's CAD roll-up would mislead; (2) the activity is operated at a separate property (Mer Bleue). The USD $2,500 figure is kept here for reference. Includes boat, motor and first tank of gas for fishing (pike or lake trout in the mornings), baiting, tracking, skinning your bear and preparing the hide for transport.
