Pourvoirie Foresto
A small trout-fishing outfitter under an hour from Quebec City, with clean chalets, three stocked lakes and winter ice fishing; catches depend heavily on timing, and the lakes can get crowded.
What visitors say
Pourvoirie Foresto in Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire is a compact outfitter within an hour of Quebec City, reached by a forest road that one visitor said is fine for an ordinary car. Reviewers describe a peaceful, secluded spot with pretty lakes and clean, comfortable chalets.
Staff are called welcoming and accommodating, and several reviewers came back after a first visit. When the fishing is on, it's good: one day angler in early May filled a quota in under two hours, others praise the size of the trout, and ice fishing in winter gets strong reviews too. Boats are described as in good shape, and one guest noted a solar-powered cabin that was well stocked with kitchen gear and kept its power on cloudy days.
It suits day anglers and families from the Quebec City area who want trout fishing without a long drive, and winter visitors looking for an ice-fishing outing.
The caveats are consistent. The three lakes are small, two are shallow and warm quickly, and stocking is described as monthly, so late-month and hot-weather fishing can be slow. A recent visitor counted eight boats and a pontoon on a lake that might comfortably hold four. One guest felt chalet assignments were unfair, and another lost a deposit on cancellation. Book soon after a stocking date if you can, and read the cancellation terms.
