Sectors

The St Jean River is divided into three zones.

  • Zone 1 is controlled at 8 rods and covers 14 pools.
  • Zone 2 is controlled at 2 rods and gives access to 7 pools.
  • Zone 4 (the Lodge zone) is fished from the prestigious St- Jean Lodge that offers accommodation and professional guides. This zone contains 50 pools and is available for 8 to 10 rods.

Zone 1

Blackwell’s is a long section of water offering excellent fishing prospects in June and early July. It is usually fished from the north bank of the St-Jean and a canoe is absolutely necessary during high water conditions.

Burnett's deep pothole pool is near a high cliff face. Salmon tend to lie in the lower part of the pool against the cliff. It offers superb fishing in June and July.

Bluff's pool starts with rapids and terminates in a large, deep pool just below a cliff. Wet fly fishing is recommended from either side of the rapids and it is better to fish from below the large hole with dry flies cast upstream. It is a retention pool which shelters salmon throughout the season.

Flat Rock is a long run of moderate current flowing into a small waxy pool flowing near to the bank. Anglers should keep back from the river bank to avoid startling the salmon.

Wild Rose is wet fly water as the current flows fast. Salmon often lie at the tail of the pool. The pool is made up of fast rapids and salmon are often located near the end of the footpath. However, it should be fished from the upstream section to cover as much water as possible.

Zone 2

This beautiful stretch of water is reserved for 2 anglers. It is primarily a motorless canoe run accessed from the south bank and offers an excellent stretch of water in June and July. Lady Gray is the most productive pool in this sector and is best described as a short rapid that empties into a deep pool. Wet fly territory is the order of the day due mostly to the fact that salmon rest in these pools in high water only. Guides are not required.
