Northern Quebec Fly In Fishing
Despite the discovery and colonization by settlers over the past few centuries, the Leaf River has remained a clandestine jewel known only to the native Inuit of northern Quebec. From its source in Minto Lake. The Leaf River flows away from Hudson Bay toward Ungava Bay. The 150 miles journey weaves through world class trout water, pristine scenery and
ancient camping sites once used by the native Inuits. Recent discovery of the tremendous fishery in the Leaf affords the angler the opportunity to fuse the technology and hardware of today with the unspoiled waters of yesteryear.

Quebec Fly Fishing Atlantic Salmon, Brook Trout, and Lake Trout
Brook trout are exceedingly abundant in the Leaf River, with the most averaging from the 3 to 5 pounds. Most anglers choose to fish by wading the edges of the river, though you may fish from the boat if you prefer.
Fly fishing is the preferred method with daily hatches and incredible streamer fishing to be experienced. If the river is high, spin fishing with light tackle and spoons can be the most productive way to take fish. Leaf River brookies are aggressive, fight hard and boast beautiful color.
