Pourvoirie Poulin de Courval

About

In the heart of the Monts-Valin, at 600 metres of altitude northeast of Chicoutimi, Pourvoirie Poulin de Courval spreads across 128 km² of exclusive territory in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. About fifty lakes hold a pure, indigenous population of brook trout (speckled trout), with no competing species and no stocking; Lac Poulin de Courval, covering 28 km², is the largest indigenous brook-trout lake in the world. The outfitter practises selective management, opening roughly half its lakes to fishing each year on a rotation to keep catches of fine size. Fishing runs from late May to early September, on a European, American, or modified American plan. For hunting, the territory offers fall moose hunting (only three groups at a time, high success rate) and spring bear hunting over baited sites. Lodging is in eleven upscale private cabins, usable year-round, each sleeping 2 to 12 people (about fifty guests in total), with 24-hour electricity and drinkable tap water. The territory is also home to one of Quebec's largest heron colonies, along with bear, moose, fox, hare and partridge.

Three-day family package, offered on the American plan (all meals) or European plan (no meals — refer to the European plan rates). All children 17 and under stay free, except on the American plan where the child's food is charged ($140/child/stay). The /portfolio_page/famille/ page shows 'Contact us' rather than a separate rate: this package re-uses the fishing-plan grid (see ppdc-peche-plan-americain / ppdc-peche-plan-europeen), so priceFrom is left null. Stand-up paddleboard and kayak available free of charge; forest walks and wildlife watching.
