Quebec Iles de Sorel

This excellent and well-managed centre owned by Safari Nordik has a marina , and rustic waterside cottage beside road access near the marina and on private islands only accessible by boat.

Le Confluent , Heron, Insulaire and Branchu is typical of the cottages here, offering comfortable but basic self-catering accommodation and some of the most exclusive carp fishing imaginable. There are no towns or nightlife nearby – if you come to Lac St-Pierre, it’s for a serious fishing and relaxing holiday away from the pressures of everyday life. Boat hire is optional for mainland cottages but essential to access the island cottages. Various boat sizes are available, with outboards from 10 to 50hp.

Watercraft

Carp fishing here is like the rest of Canada; it’s a simple case of pre baiting swims with boiled maize and wheat and fishing with 2 to 5 grains of boiled maize on a hair rig. Simple in-line leger tactics work best. Sometimes you get screaming runs, but more often than not it’s just a slight indication. Frequent feeding is critical.

As temperatures change through the seasons these carp move around, so fish location is important. In late May and June we have caught in the shallower margins, around 3 to 6 feet deep. In summer, the big carp shoals seek out cooler, deeper water and our best catches have come from moving water around 10 to 15 foot in depth.

In recent seasons big thirties have been caught, excellent and prolific carp plus muskie, pike and walleye.
