Host toasts hospitality

Mike Miller, host of Angler and Hunter Television, is an ardent fan of the federation and French fare as well.

“Don’t let the worry of a language barrier make you hesitate to book a trip to this glorious place. The meals alone are something to behold…home cooked delicacies that will make you think your moms and grandmas have been cheating you all these years,” he says.

Whether it’s tourtière or sugar pie, split pea soup or pouding chômeur, there’s a new French dish to whet your appetite around every other corner. If this verbally illustrated banquet piques your interest, Miller shares even more of his personally-curated experience visiting St-Cyr Royal, a remote fly-in Québec destination that is part of the federation.

Walleye most-sought fish

Vicky Boivin, communications advisor for Québec Outfitters, spoke about the most-sought fisheries at www.hunting-fishing.quebec.

“Walleye remains the most coveted species. To learn more about this species prized for the quality of its flesh, I invite you to consult the special section on freshwater species on pages 72 and 73 of the 2020 edition of Québec Outfitters magazine,” she said.

Interest is growing in salmon and brook trout fishing in northern Québec, where Indigenous culture, magnificent territories, and quality species awaken the passions of explorers searching for adventure, Boivin said.

“We recently launched a website dedicated to this extraordinary destination www.gonorthquebec.com. A lot of useful information about this magnificent part of Quebec is also presented between pages 98 and 102 of the magazine,” she added.

Québec Outfitters’ 2020 magazine is now available online. You can find helpful information on hunting zones, fishing regions, and packages.
