Papineau Labelle Lakes for Trout

[pchilli1]

All,

Looking to book two days in Papineau-Labelle park/reserve for May 2014.

I see a rustic cabin on Lac Hydroplane is available but the lake is unknown to me. Has anyone fished it before?

If anyone has input to a good lake to fish in the reserve please send me a pm. We will be a party of 6 people hence why i looked into the cabin option. It is not a necessity and we are open to tenting on a lake as well.

Cheers,

P (Hi Adam).

I found this page out there and it is chalker-blocked full of info on the Parc and fishing hunting etc.

You will have to make a call though because to me it looks like it is closed all winter and only opens up in early May each year.

Looks like a nice spot to visit for sure though. Enjoy

Thanks,

Part of the issue is there are so many opportunities (good thing I guess) which is why I was looking for some direction.

Also, any idea whether you can pay the park fees and set up shop on one of the lakes for a few nights with tents? Can't find any info other than cabin rental or just day fishing.

HI,
May through early June is the prime time to fish in Papineau-Labelle. There are excellent lakes for brook trout and lake trout. I see on the SEPAQ web site that there is still some regular cabins available in May.
I've been to Papineau-Labelle several times. Send me a PM and let me know which area of the park you are looking for and species (lake trout or brookies) and I'll try to help.
