Nicolet River

Located in the Bois-Francs (zone 7) of the Centre-du-Québec region, the Nicolet River stands among the most beautiful restored rivers in Québec. At the level of our wading sites, the river unfolds in a succession of foaming rapids and exposed rocks, numerous pools, fish-shelters, and deflectors that constitute a privileged habitat for the brook trout (speckled trout), the rainbow trout, and the brown trout. The entire site is stocked regularly during the summer. Furthermore, you will be fishing in peace because there are no biting insects as in other regions.
