Mistassini Lake, located in the heart of Quebec, is the province's largest freshwater lake. Our camp is located on an island (Guillaume Couture) that forms a chain of islands dividing Mistassini Lake in half. It is located at 34 miles from Mistissini - a 20 minute flight by hydroplane. The site is conveniently located within proximity to productive areas of the lake.
This site is located in a bay sheltered from prevailling winds & insects. The lake is 110 miles in length and averages a width of 15 miles. The depth ranges from 200 feet to 800 feet. When observing a map of Mistassini Lake, the site is found halfway of the latitude of the lake
(longitude 73`37’15’’ latitude :50`55’35’’).
Visitors may drive to Mistissini from Chibougamau via a 90 km gravel surfaced road. Those travelling by car must leave their vehicules in a supervised parking area at our reception area (91 Riverside Street, Mistissini).
Daily flights connect from Montreal to Chibougamau. A shuttle or a private plane from the airport will transport guests to Mistissini at an additional cost.

A 20-miniute flight by hydroplane to the camp.
Temperature
The ice breaks generally between the third and last week of May. Weather in June varies from one extreme to the other. We recommend that fishermen bring warm clothing (sweaters, boots,wool socks) and some lighter wear. In addition, a good quality raincoat and bootsfor river fishing is recommended.
Bugs are relatively absent in early June but begin in mid-June through mid- August, fishermen should not forget their insect repellent, (but people are protected from these insects since we are on an island). July will generally be warmer and bring calm days towards the end of the month. August will begin warm and will end with colder, rainy, and windy days. September will be cold with the exceptional warm periods like the 1999 season. It is important to emphasize that the weather is an element that can drastically change from one day to the other, therefore customers should be encouraged to bring clothing suitable for both warm and cold days.
