You hear footsteps on the porch. Your company has arrived. The door opens wide and the pleasant smell of wood embalms the air. The soft light of ceramic lamps offers an intimate and warm ambiance. The log cabin envelops you in the quiet strength of the surrounding forest. The crackle of the stove* accompanies the songs of the loons calling to each other from one lake to the next. Everybody is here. Tales of the dayís adventures are shared as the trout are frying in the pan.

Lodgings:
At one time a private club for Americans, the village Scott was rebuilt in the 1940ís after a fire destroyed the main lodge. This village is situated on the Western portion of the wildlife reserve (the government of Québec abolished private clubs in 1976), and is made up of traditional log cabins or cedar-shingled cabins. Each cabin may hold from 2 to 6 persons and is lighted by propane and heated by wood stove. |

Horseback riding:
Horseback riding is one of the least disruptive ways of getting around the reserve. Whether you wish to calmly explore the territory or to find that remote lake to fish for indigenous trout.
Canoe camping:
Accompanied by your Leave No Trace guide, you will gain access to the most remote portions of the territory, where you will live in complete symbiosis with nature. The trip will take you along many lakes and portages. Wildlife observation, forest interpretation and subsistence fishing are just some of the activities included on this trip.

Fishing:
Indigenous brook trout thrive in the pure waters of the 139 lakes of the reserve. Trout populations vary in form and colour from one lake to another. This is because each lake is a micro-ecosystem that is populated by different types of insects, which are the staple food of the trout.
This brings us to the pleasure of fly fishing. We offer a workshop to acquaint you with how to observe the various flies, dragonflies and other insects eaten by the trout. You will also learn how to use flies and handle a fly rod and the other basics of fly fishing. You may catch and release the fish or you may eat it for supper. However, you cannot bring your catch home and there is a limit of two fish per day per fisher. |
