Fishing the

Petite Watshishou River

In brief

Petite Watshishou River

Emblematic of this magnificent territory and a Quebec cultural heritage site, the Château Johan-Beetz has majestically overlooked the sea and the village since 1897. Staying in this charming historic residence is one of the pleasures of any fishing trip or vacation in Baie-Johan-Beetz. Three watersheds - Rivière Petite Watshishou, Rivière Piashti and Petit lac Piashti - form a superb playground populated by five salmonid species: Atlantic salmon, sea trout, Arctic char, speckled trout and landlocked salmon! Local gastronomy, seascapes carpeted with wild berries, and the discovery of a vibrant community are also on the program.

The rivers of the Duplessis region are often majestic in their beauty, flowing through deep valleys that almost always lead to small villages clinging to the coast. Near the coast, their waters have the typical color of fossil resin, while on

In Anticosti, in the middle of the Gulf of St-Laurent, the clarity of the river water is striking. In keeping with this wild environment, North Shore salmon are renowned for their fighting spirit.
