We believe that great guides are crucial to a successful trip. Our guests are fully guided by a team of professionals committed to the sport of fly-fishing for Atlantic salmon. All qualified instructors, they teach the fundamentals to beginners or work with seasoned anglers to perfect their abilities. Most importantly, perhaps, is the friendship you’ll develop with these great guys.
We have equipped our guides with digital cameras. Each day while on the river they will be taking photos to document your trip. A short while after returning home you will receive a CD with all the photos of your trip.
Clement Bernier
Clement has earned the name “Hawk Eye” as few salmon move for your fly that he doesn’t see. He has been guiding for Atlantic salmon for more than 25 years. His experience and knowledge of the sport are only surpassed by his enthusiasm. Clement is an expert fly-tier and always designing new creations. An accomplished wildlife artist and conservationist, he is at home on the river and in nature.
Roddy Gallon
The Grand Cascapedia valley has been home to Roddy all of his life. An avid fly fisherman, he’s been fishing for Atlantic Salmon since he was a small boy. His knowledge of the Grand Cascapedia and his ability as a master boatman makes him one of the best. Anyone who has ever fished with Roddy wants to do it again, if not for the fishing but for his sense of humor.
Pat Trudel
Before his guiding career at Salmon Lodge Pat was a full time game warden on the Petite Cascapedia river. If anyone knows the Petite Cascapedia it’s sure Pat. From its headwaters to its estuary he know every turn and bump and most of all where the salmon are. He is a master boat handler, fly-fisherman and a very keen guide. His knowledge of our rivers and his understanding of salmon habitat make for a truly wonderful experience each and every day.
