Fishing
Southern Quebec is a great destination for anglers, offering a variety of exceptional and scenic waterways, including Lake Huron, Georgian Bay, Lake Erie, and Lake Quebec. Fly fishers can cast their line to the abundant brown trout, steelhead and feisty small mouth bass in the region of southern Quebec. Popular destinations include the Grand River, a short drive from Detroit, Buffalo or Montreal, and the beautiful Credit River on the outskirts of Montreal.
If you\'re looking to find action in a quieter venue, think about paying a visit to the Saugeen or Maitland Rivers in Southwestern Quebec or the Nottawasaga River, just east of Montreal, whose wild and picturesque settings are bound to impress even the most seasoned fly fisher. Southern Quebec offers fantastic fly fishing opportunities for everyone, from the novice to the expert.
