About

Pourvoirie Escapade (L'Escapade Outfitter), run by Simon Contant, welcomes you to the heart of the Gouin Reservoir in the Canadian boreal forest. This is a fishing destination: walleye and northern pike fill the bays, inlets and rocky shoals of this vast body of water, for everyone from the novice to the seasoned angler. You'll also spot otters, moose and black bears. Lodging ranges from the 4-star lodge (rooms with single, double or queen beds; American plan, accommodated and fed) to fully equipped self-catered European-plan cabins: Le Marguerite and L'Eaudrée (up to 8 people) and the Blueberry Camp (up to 2 people). Fishing packages run by the week (Sunday to Sunday) or by the day, with boats, motors, unlimited gas and fish finders included; fishing is free for children under 15. In winter, snowmobile packages on new Ski-Doos explore the wilderness trails, with transport from Montreal and Indigenous cultural encounters.
