The anglers observed fewer salmon in the accessible sections than in September. Regional conditions were cool and sunny, with about 8–10 °C in the morning, pressure around 1026–1028 hPa and a last-quarter moon at about 51% illumination.

- From $125 CAD per person for river trout in Quebec and $250 CAD per person for Ontario salmon.
- Do I have to pick a date now?
- No. You can join the 2027 priority list with no fixed date, or message me on Messenger.
- Does the person need a licence?
- Yes. A valid Quebec or Ontario fishing licence, depending on the trip, is required and can be bought online.
- What equipment should I bring for Ontario salmon fishing?
- Waders and wading boots are required. Bring your rod, reel, lures or flies: fishing gear is not provided. Bring your own camping equipment for multi-day packages.
- Is transport from Montreal included?
- Round-trip transport from Montreal available: +$100 per person, subject to availability. This extra is not included in the package price or booking estimate. Request it in your message; the guide confirms availability before any commitment.
- Can I choose fly fishing or spinning?
- Yes. Ontario salmon trips are walk-and-wade outings with fly fishing or spinning gear. Select your preference in the request; the sector and technique depend on the river, season and applicable regulations.
- Which fishing licence do I need, and is it included?
- The licence is not included. You need a valid licence for the province where you fish: Quebec for Quebec trips, Ontario for Ontario trips. Buying online is very easy: allow about 5 minutes, sometimes less if your account is already ready. For Quebec and other Canadian residents outside Ontario, a one-day sport fishing licence costs $15.21 + tax (2026 fee). An Outdoors Card is not required with this one-day licence. For other licences that require it, the card costs $8.57 + tax, approximately $9 before tax, if you do not already have a valid card. Fees and exemptions vary by residency, age and circumstances; check the official portal before buying. Buy online: https://www.huntandfishontario.com/
- Can I bring my child or join as a beginner?

- Trips are rescheduled during thunderstorms or unsafe conditions. If you need to cancel, contact Frédéric: cancellation terms must be confirmed personally before finalizing your booking.
