Offering what is arguably Canada's best road-accessible, multi-species sportfishery, La Reserve Beauchene, an exclusive-use, 50,000-acre territory containing some forty (40) lakes, is an exceptional fishing destination. With superior accommodations, meals and services, reliable equipment, knowledgeable guides, and trophy-class angling for smallmouth bass, lake trout, walleyes, brook trout and northern pike in an unspoiled wilderness setting, La Reserve Beauchene has it all.

Unlike many places where the best fishing is experienced at remote, walk-in or fly-in lakes, the Reserve's main lake, Lac Beauchene, offers great multi-species angling. Most of the smaller back lakes are accessible by gravel roads, and each offers outstanding fishing - both in terms of numbers of fish caught and trophy specimens. Boats are cached on many of the back lakes, canoes at others. The lodge supplies electric or smaller gasoline motors for use on these smaller lakes.

The largest of the lakes, Lac Beauchene or "Big Beauchene", is 12 miles long, clear, very deep (over 150 feet) and dominated by cold-water gamefish species, including lake trout, northern pike and whitefish, although walleyes and monster smallmouth bass averaging nearly three pounds abound. The shoreline is composed primarily of rock and sand and strewn with cedar deadfalls, while a few smaller back bays support sparse aquatic vegetation.Although widely known for its incredible smallmouth bass fishing, it is the brook (speckled) trout fishing that is truly exceptional at La Reserve Beauchene. Fully half the lakes hold monster brookies - fish up to seven pounds ! Taggart Lake and its native speckledtrout are favourites, and this incredible, wild strain has been introduced into a number of the smaller lakes. Early season is prime time for Beauchene trout and consistent fishing and trophy fish is the norm for anglers using a stealthy, "finesse" approach.

La Reserve Beauchene offers its angling guests a full range of accommodations and services including guiding, American-plan packages at the "White House" lodge, housekeeping plans in modern, fully serviced log cabins, self-sufficient outpost camps, and a secluded campground / RV park at the distant end of big Lac Beauchene.

A proven multi-species fishery, and wisely managed, La Reserve Beauchene provides unlimited opportunities for exciting and memorable fishing vacations for both widely experienced and recreational anglers alike.
