Current Report
The Dartmouth River (Gaspé,
Québec)
The Dartmouth is divided into
7 sectors:
Sectors 1-3-5 (no limit on
number of anglers):
Sector 1 (approx: 23 pools)is
productive mostly in June and
early July.
Excellent rapid-like holding
pools for the early
run "silver bullets!"
Salmon start jumping
the "falls" ( in sector 2 )
roughly around June 25th.
Thus late June to September,
fish are holding in Sector 3
& 5 ( approx 16 pools).
Some pools in these sectors
often hold 75 to 200 fish in
late season!
* note--1 daily pass allows
you to fish these 3 sectors.
Sector 2:
Sector 2 (approx 5 pools)
offers fishing for 4 anglers
(only)/day. June 1 to June
14th, then from June 15th to
September 30th this sector is
available for 6 anglers
(only)/ day.
The most sought for sector on
the Dartmouth, Sector 2 will
hold fishing in early June
through mid-July, then once
the water level starts
dropping they will attempt
leaping up the Falls to the
upper sectors.
Later in the season, fish
will rest for short periods
in the day and attempt to
leap up the falls in the
evening.
Sector 4:
Sector 4 offers fishing for 2
anglers(only)/day.
Breeder ool is a well known
pool on the Dartmouth and an
excellent resting pool....
usually the first stop (after
salmon have jumped the falls
in sector 2). By the end of
June, you can expect to
see "big" fish resting in
this sector. Breeder will
hold fish July, Ausgust and
September.
Sector 6:
Sector 6 offers fishing for 2
anglers(only)/day.
By early July to September
more and more fish are
lodging in this pool. Easily
100 fish by late July, and
excellent dry fly water
stretch.
Sector 7:
Sector 7 offers fishing for 2
anglers(only) /day.
Sector 7 is the pool just
below the "migratory
barrier". Here you will see
many large fish ( keep a low
profil) not to be seen!
Dartmouth; Incredible scenery
and great water. The fish
count for September of 2002
was 290 grilses and 432
adults (40% and 60%
respectively), with an
approximate count of 430 fish
landed.
We look forward to bringing
you updated reports during
the 2003 season!
