TERMS OF APPLICATION OF THE REGULATIONS RELATING TO SPORT FISHING IN NORTHERN QUEBEC.

Several stakeholders met in 2018 at the invitation of the regional directorate of the Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks (MFFP) to discuss the implementation of the new regulation concerning the obligation for salmon fishermen to use the service of an outfitter in zones 23 and 24

Thus, the representatives of the MFFP, the Federation des pourvoiries du Québec (FPQ), the Quebec Federation for Atlantic Salmon (FQSA), the Makivik Corporation, the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach and Aviateurs Quebec have agreed to the terms and conditions of the agreement. following application:

  • The use of the services of an outfitting does not necessarily include the purchase of a complete package. An amount of $ 75 per day plus tax per fisher may be collected by the outfitter to cover the administrative costs of registering the fisherman and his catch.
  • All salmon rivers will remain accessible to self-employed fishermen who will not be confined to the operating territories of the outfitters. They will therefore be able to access portions of rivers without outfitter, as is the case for the Rivière aux Feuilles, Rivière des Pè, de Pas and Rivière (with the exception of the Ausaumon fishing sanctuaries).
  • Outfitters may register fishermen, regardless of their fishing location, with the exception of the operating territories of another outfitter. However, the recording of salmon catch, including the release of the catch, must be completed in person at the outfitter with which the fisherman made his initial registration, unless the outfitter agrees to the information being provided to him by telephone. In such a case, you will have to pick salmon scales and send them to the Department. Instructions for this are included in your Fisher Book.
  • Registration of fishermen can be made using the registration form developed by the MFFP and provided to the outfitters.
