Trip Report: Kapitachuan Club May 14-21, 2015

[bartidge]

This spring marked a return by our group to outfitters, Kapitachuan Club, 134 km east of Senneterre, QC near Reservoir Gouin. We arrived for opening week of walleye season in this territory of Quebec. The walleye are typically in the narrows and rapids spawning and fishing is usually excellent. That was the case this year and we hit them hard (unlike our trip here in 2009 when the fish were spawned-out early and were in transition and more difficult to catch.) Other benefit of going opening week: No Bugs!

Weather was good. The first 4 days were stellar. No rain and temps in the 50's and 60's. On the 5th day a front blew through and it got colder. We actually got 2" of snow one night! The bite turned off quite a bit after the front, but such is life. We had already caught our limits and froze our fish for the ride. My Dad, Doug Sr., ran the food plan and it was outstanding eats, as usual.

The trip was a success fishing-wise. Everyone caught their limits. We even had a few of those golden times where every cast yielded a fish. Largest walleye was 28-1/2" and largest Northern was 43". We got 4 Northerns in the 40"+ range (all caught and released). Slot limits on walleye are 15 - 22" for keepers (anything over 22" has to be released.)

@bartidge excellent! I'll add this to the outfitter list in the master index, never heard of them before. Blue walleye outpost was the closest outfitter I knew of out that way.

I updated a map that shows exclusive rights outfitters along with some non-exclusive for most of the Abitibi-Temiscaming and Outaouais Regions... I did not include the outfitters and lodges on Kipawa as they are all pretty well documented. Not all-inclusive but shows a lot...
