The women's mentoring program is a chance to learn, progress and share in the world of salmon fishing. For a second year, we're joining forces with Saumon Québec for this incredible trip. This year, the women's mentoring activity will take place on the magnificent Mitis River, from August 1 to 4, 2024. This river flows 51 kilometers north from Lac Mitis to join the St. Lawrence River at Sainte-Flavie. Salmon swim 46 kilometers up to an impassable drop of a dozen meters near Lac Mitis. As part of this mentoring program, we'd like you to experience all that is fishing and the great outdoors. So we've concocted a very special first day to get your stay off to a good start. On the menu: body activation with a friendly jog or hike, an outdoor yoga session, a foraging workshop, a prevention workshop, striped bass fishing and a bbq on the beach. Then it's on to salmon fishing for two days on the river on Saturday and Sunday.
Experienced mentors will accompany you every day. At the end of the day, we'll get together for a festive aperitif and recount the day's highlights - quite magical! We'll be camping (yurts) on the edge of a lake just a short drive from the Mitis River, an enchanting setting and a unique all-inclusive package.

Women's mentoring is for all curious women who want to acquire new knowledge and discover more about the fascinating world of fly fishing and salmon fishing. The activity is aimed at women who have never touched a fly rod before, as well as new salmon anglers (5 days fishing or less) who don't yet feel comfortable fishing on their own.
