Whether you are looking for a quiet fishing trip or you are a fishing fanatic, Lac Justone Outfitter on the Caniapiscau River offers a variety of fish species that will delight all fishermen. Here is a small guide on the species of fish that can be caught on our territory.
Landlocked Salmon
The landlocked salmon is a freshwater salmon that can exceed 10 pounds. It is a salmonid with orange flesh that cohabits with speckled trout. Known for its tasty flesh, landlocked salmon are also highly sought after by fishermen looking for spectacular fights and jumps.
When to Fish Landlocked Salmon
The best time to fish for landlocked salmon is between May and June. However, for unknown reasons, a large increase in catches throughout the fishing season has been noticed in recent years. Prioritize river trips at your fishing area to increase your chances of catching landlocked salmon.
An outfitter’s word of advice!
This species of fish feeds mainly on smaller fish. A little advice, observe the water in which you fish, the insects present near the streams and ask questions to other fishermen. Use artificial baits that mimic the species in the area.
Speckled Trout
A fierce fighter, the speckled trout or red trout from Quebec is one of the most sought-after species by sports fishermen. Very combative, the speckled trout can put up great battles! Moreover, as this species quickly develops, it can reach up to 7 pounds!
Lake Trout

This species is known for its fighting spirit and delicious meat, but especially for its impressive size, which can reach up to 30 pounds! Don’t be too quick to celebrate, the lake trout is known for its strength and exceptional resistance. Catching it is an excellent challenge for any fisherman with the courage to tackle it!
Northern Pike
The northern pike is a fish often considered as a freshwater shark because of its aggressivity towards other marine species. The appearance of northern pikes found in the Caniapiscau River differs slightly from pikes found elsewhere in Quebec. It is common to have catches of more than 10 lb for this species, we even saw catches that exceeded 20 lb!
