LAKE COMPETITION

The CME is very fortunate to have the Club Baroux Outfitters in Brebeuf as a strategic partner for this event. Club Baroux has graciously provided our event with 3 of their best headwater lakes each with 8 boats and motors and stocked to capacity with brook and rainbow trout for the duration of the event. We encourage our club members to discover the great fishing opportunities there. (www.pourvoirie-baroux.com)

RIVER COMPETITION

The 5 km. section of the Riviere Diable recently designated fly fishing only will be divided into 2 sections each with 8 beats, for the river fishing sessions. The organizing committee (O.C.) and the CME board of directors have developed a stocking plan that will assure all club members with exceptional fishing on the river all season.

The organizing committee is still being formed and a number of key volunteer positions are open.

Up to 50 roles need to be filled such as; fishing referees and controllers, transportation co-ordinaters and box lunch makers. No fly fishing experience is necessary.
