Fun to catch, cook and eat trout.
Very organized and beautiful. Fish and BBQ on the spot
Fun experience. Fishing in the ponds is fun for young kids, and very very easy...
The tour is interesting, especially if you ask questions. The set up itself is not all that exciting ( mostly big circular tanks with fish of various size in them) but the explanations of how it works can be quite interesting.
The outside are is rwally nice, its a good way to spend an afternoon, learn a lottle about fishes, fish a little and see how fish are gutted (as to see the still beating heart, that's cool for kids and adults.)
Very nice experience for children and adults. The ponds are well stocked, so that one (ie. kids) never has to wait too long for something to bite. The guided tour of the fish hatchery was very interesting (this site is owned by the provincial government and provides fish spawn for numerous fishing grounds around Quebec). The hike to the summit is rewarded by a very nice view. Barbecues are offered for a nominal fee to cook and eat your fresh catches.
The only downside is the front desk girl who had great service skills, but knew nothing about the place. Don't put new employees at the front desk, or at least make sure they are knowledgeable. Learned a lot about the fish farming industry! Great tour of those installations was captivating to me and my girlfriend but was not geared toward my 5 yo at all! But I went there to fish, the easy way and was not disappointed! You will catch small 9 inch trouts and the staff can gut them and show you how its done. Great way to tell my daughter where her food comes from! Also, a little bit expensive at $5 a fish, but the have a wonderful and well maintained site. Enjoy!
