Species: Other:

Many other species can be caught fishing in Quebec and Ontario, we simply cover the ones we are used to catching. Huge Atlantic Salmon can be found in Eastern Quebec, namely in Gaspe and the "Cote Nord / North shore" tributaries of the St Lawrence river. Ontario also has a great Salmon fishery in Lake Ontario and the western St Lawrence river past Thousand Islands. The St Lawrence river also has a healthy Sturgeon population, with fish commonly reaching over 200 lbs. Some other species are "accidentally" caught while fishing for game fish, especially in the St Lawrence and Outaouais / Ottawa rivers. I will try to post more information on these species when / if I target / catch any of them.


Holy Mackerel, it's a saltwater fish! A small mackerel caught offshore fishing near Miami Beach, December 2006.


A Longnose gar, accidentally caught in the Outaouais / Ottawa river. It's beak tangled the line, it didn't even take the hook.


Sometimes, fish aren't the only creatures under the dock.

A large crayfish, hooked in the Du Lievre River, June 2007
