Salmon Lodge

Salmon Lodge is the sister lodge to Camp Bonaventure and is located on the banks of the Grand Cascapedia on Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula on Canada’s east coast. The lodge is ideally located to allow anglers to fish the Grand Cascapedia, Petit Cascapedia and Bonaventure Rivers from June to September. These three rivers vary in their character, the Grand Cascapedia is clear but tea tinted and the Bonaventure and Petit Cascapedia run gin clear.

Superb salmon fishing with excellent guides 

The world renowned Grand Cascapedia is stunning and where salmon in the 40lb class are not uncommon. The Bonaventure is legendary for its water clarity and sight casting opportunities, and the Petit Cascapedia is known for its clear picturesque pools holding big salmon and huge brook trout. Your days on the river are enhanced by the experience and knowledge of the expert guides who have fished these waters for years and know where to put you over fish.

The fishing is normally by wading, but earlier in the year when water levels are higher canoes may be used to access some of the beats. Gaspé is famous for its big fish and these rivers regularly catch fish over 30lb, even up to 40lb. The opportunity to sight cast to fish this size using dry flies in crystal clear water is unique to this part of the world. Whether you are a beginner just learning how to cast or an experienced fly caster seeking to perfect your skills with a single-handed or Spey rod, this band of talented guides will take care of your every need.
