The Fly Shop® is not in the insurance business, but we recommend Travel Guard coverage as a service with a desire to see your best interests protected. It is impossible to know when an unfortunate situation (loss of luggage, fly rods, illness in the family, or an accident) may occur. However, such things can and do happen, and this insurance can provide a means of recourse against non-refundable financial losses.

Originally built on the property of a bustling sawmill, door and sash factory and bank, the lodge has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its rustic charm while offering all the comforts of modern hospitality.

The lodge, which accommodates 8 rods, features 6 cozy queen-bed rooms and 2 king-bed rooms, each sharing a bathroom. Each angler will have his own single/private room. Additionally, a dedicated wader room is available to store and dry your gear. Internet access is available for your convenience.

There is a fully equipped fly shop for any items you might have left at home close to the Nadeau House. The Cascapedia River Museum is within walking distance where you can dive deeper into the rich angling heritage of the Gaspé.

A stay at Nadeau House is an experience in true Gaspésie hospitality. Libations are taken in the parlor from the full bar in the evening. The culinary experience, carefully curated, celebrates the best of local flavors incorporating fresh ingredients from Atlantic seafood to seasonal farm produce and meats. Meals are served in the cozy dining room where stories flow freely, in an inviting homey atmosphere.

During the warmer summer months, particularly in August, we often start early—sometimes as early as 4:30 AM – to take advantage of cooler temperatures and maximize your chances of success.

Most of your fishing will take place on the Grand Cascapedia, Petite Cascapedia, and Bonaventure rivers – each offering an unparalleled experience in the pursuit of one of angling's most coveted species.
• We’re committed to the conservation of Atlantic Salmon; all catches are carefully released back into the water.
• Quebec’s regulations allow for the release of up to 2 Atlantic Salmon per day, and if you reach this limit, you can take pride in being “fished out” and head back to enjoy the lodge.
• To safeguard the wellbeing of the fish, we pause fishing when water temps exceed 68°F (20°C).
• We fish with barbless, single hooks. Weighted flies are not permitted and cannot be on your person.
• Quebec’s rivers operate on a unique beat system, with access to specific sectors assigned daily through a lottery. This means you may not always get to fish the most coveted waters, but it also ensures that each day brings the excitement of exploring new and untouched stretches of the river.
• Anglers are also expected to honor a traditional rotation system, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to enjoy equal time on the water.

Striped Bass:
Your day on the water will span a minimum of 8 hours, with limited travel time on the water to maximize every moment spent fishing. Most of your time will be spent aboard one of our four poling skiffs, where anglers take turns casting from the platform at the bow as your guide poles the skiff and spots fish. Although walk and wade can make for a very memorable outing when the stars align, be prepared to get your feet wet, if you’re up for it!

Early in the season, expect to see tailing and blitzing fish as striped bass actively feed in the shallows. As the season progresses, you’ll encounter large schools of flashing fish, creating incredible opportunities for sight fishing. For those who want to explore deeper or more structured waters, our Mako boat allows access to prime areas beyond the reach of the skiffs.

This tool allows anglers to fish more traditional methods with sinking lines or bait and switch.
With the expertise of our guides, you’ll focus on the best fishing grounds each day, ensuring a memorable and productive adventure on the water.

• Our skiffs are trailered which allows us to select the best area for fishing every day. Travel time can be anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour.
• Our ability to go out on the ocean is weather dependent. Be ready to pivot to a day of fishing on a river or a pint at the local brewpub if the weather turns.

Sea-run Brook Trout:
Pursuing native sea-run brook trout in the Gaspé Peninsula is an adventure that combines challenging conditions with breathtaking rewards. The prime season for these elusive fish runs from mid-July to the end of August, when they return to the rivers from the sea.

Fishing for brook trout here often takes you deep into the backcountry, exploring remote stretches of water far off the beaten path. This experience is not for the faint of heart, but the effort is well worth it—many anglers liken it to the wild, pristine fly fishing found in New Zealand.

Expect a full day on the water. Your guides will navigate the journey, whether it’s wading through rugged terrain or fishing from a canoe, as you chase after the thrill of sight fishing for these vibrant, hard-fighting trout.

This is an unforgettable experience for those who crave both the challenge and the solitude of back-country fishing, where each cast brings the potential for a trophy brook trout in truly wild surroundings.

• We’re committed to the conservation of our native Brook Trout, so all catches are carefully released back into the water to ensure healthy fish populations for years to come.
• To safeguard the wellbeing of the fish, we pause fishing when water temperatures exceed 68°F (20°C).
• Certain rivers have unweighted fly requirements, while others are a true no-mans-land experience.
• Expect a physically demanding day if you’re searching for Brookies.
