Fishing on the Saguenay Fjord
Ice fishing on the Saguenay Fjord is a popular activity during the winter, but did you know that you can also go fishing for groundfish during the summer? Imagine fishing in water up to 300 meters deep, where you can catch redfish, cod, and turbot. Every catch becomes an amazing experience within a breathtaking landscape.
Please take note of their hours of operation since the schedule varies from the end of April to mid-October.
