Quebec has over 500,000 lakes and thousands of rivers spanning from the St. Lawrence River to Ungava Bay. The province offers world-class brook trout fishing in the remote rivers of northern Quebec, exceptional walleye and northern pike in the Laurentian lakes, and some of the best Atlantic salmon rivers in the world on the Gaspe Peninsula and North Shore. Lake Mistassini and the vast reservoir lakes like Caniapiscau provide trophy lake trout fishing in the boreal wilderness.
