Chalets Du Huard

We are a small family-owned fishing camp in a remote northern region of Lake Kipawa, which is the hottest lake in Quebec for Walleye, Lake Trout, Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass Fishing. We are only a little over an hour’s drive north-east of North Bay, Ontario and just inside the Québec border.
Walleye Fishing:
Lake Kipawa is a Walleye fisherperson’s dream come true. It’s considered the very best Walleye fishing lake in Quebec when considering the combination of numbers and size. You should be able to catch 20 to 50 Walleyes per day and if you know the lake well, many more. There are many good eating-size Walleyes available and the majority of Walleyes caught are around 2 pounds. Walleye fanatics focus on Lake Kipawa because of the availability of large trophy Walleyes. In a week of fishing you should catch 15 to 20 Walleyes in the 4 to 6-pound range. Every week guests bring in Walleyes in the 8 to 10-pound range and sometime over 12 pounds. Guests of Chalets du Huard have caught Walleyes over 15 pounds but a monster like that is not common.
Lake Trout Fishing:
Lake Trout is a resource that has remained virtually untouched in Lake Kipawa. Most of our guests come to Chalets du Huard for the unbelievable Walleye fishing and don’t take advantage of the awesome Lake Trout fishing. Lake Trout are easy to catch in the spring as they are along the shore in the shallow water. During the summer the Lake Trout are concentrated around the 53 degree thermal layer and with our light tackle techniques you can catch hoards of them. Lake Trout are most common in the 2 to 6-pound range with 7 to 15-pounders being fairly common. Lake Trout exceeding 30 pounds get caught and released each summer.
