FISHING

CAMP FALAISE/ AMERICAN PLAN TROPHY BROOK TROUT, OUANANICHE, LAKE TROUT PIKES

CAMP FALAISE - On the Caniapiskau Watershed, 75 air miles west of Schefferville can only be reached by seaplane. Excellent fishing for Ouananiche (lankloked Salmon) average weight 3 lbs up to 10 lbs, Brook Trout, average weight 3 lbs up to 8 lbs, Lake Trout and Great Northern Pike, average weight 5 lbs up to 30 lbs.

In this vast area of lakes, rivers, rapids and streams, with plenty of white water to fish in, you can fish from the canoe, from the shore, by wading or trolling.

Altogether we fish an area of over 60 miles and by having the camp restricted to 6 people you can be assured of good fishing. It is strictly fly fishing from July 27th to September 5th. Special areas are reserved for it.

CATCH AND RELEASE

Trophy sport fishing in the Falaise rivers will remain superb as long as we continue to return fish unharmed to the waters maintaining this philosophy of "Catch and Release" for Speckled Trout and keeping only trophies for mounting, will ensure the continued strength of the natural wild stock. Fisherman will be allowed to keep one TROPHY BROOK TROUT and will release all others.

Your guide will provide advice on safe handling and unhooking the fish to be released. After their trophies are selected, the fishermen will have to cut the barb off the hook if they want to continue to fish. This will reduce the danger of injuring fish. We also arrange for taxidermy services if you desire.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR FISHERMAN AND HUNTERS

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Camp tents built on wooden floor, with running water, electricity, flush toilets, offer a very comfortable accommodation for 8 persons at the same time, with succulent meals served by our permanent cook.

We assign one guide per two hunters with boat and motor for your period. Hunting for the barren land caribou, ptarmigan, if you are lucky you may have a chance for a black bear. Fishing in season, is also included in my services.

Hunters and fishermen are flown to their respective camps on "change-out" days. Exiting guests return on these flights to make connections with their home flight. Should you decide to fly sooner than the schedule, the extra cost of the flight will be at your expense.

Hunters in the European plan (drop camp) must bring their food or can be bought at Schefferville.

Because of the weather in the North, do not travel on a tight schedule. Be prepared to spend an extra day either at the camp or in Schefferville due to bad weather, when the float plane cannot fly. Extra days at the camp on account of weather conditions, there will be no charge for you. Extra days in Schefferville due to bad weather, this will be at your own expense.

A Montagnais representative will be at the Airport to meet you on your arrival.

If you have to stay overnight in Schefferville, you meat will be stored in our cooler and you may use our accommodation which is free.
