Gaspé is blessed with three magnificent salmon rivers. The first pools are just 15 minutes away from downtown.
Dry and wet fly fishing are equally possible here. Come and enjoy the renowned York, get a taste for the St-Jean with its crystal clear waters and discover the mysterious Dartmouth. The Société de Gestion des rivières de Gaspé wishes you an unforgettable fishing trip.
Gaspé is located in an exceptional natural harbour
Apart from the three salmon rivers that make Gaspé an internationally renowned fishing destination, Gaspé boasts breathtaking scenery, welcoming locals and a multitude of activities for friends and family. You may want to relax on one of five sandy beaches; take a ride on the magnificent cycle path; visit Forillon National Park or perhaps play golf at Fort Prével. There’s Gaspé Museum, le Cormoran sailing school, entertainment during the Festival Musique du Bout du Monde and much more.
After an exhilarating day out on the river, take advantage of the excellent restaurants in Gaspé, stay the night in a downtown hotel; on a campsite or maybe in the calm and quiet of a rented cottage.
