River Views

Accommodations

Gaspe Coastal's Nadeau House is part of this region's rich history.

Nadeau House

Set along the banks of the world-renowned Grand Cascapédia River, their beautifully restored 19th-century home offers a perfect blend of history, comfort, and unparalleled river access. Originally built on the property of a bustling sawmill, door and sash factory, and bank, the lodge has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its rustic charm while offering all the comforts of modern hospitality.

Each angler receives their own private accommodations. Featuring 6 cozy queen bedrooms and 2 king rooms.

Rooms are arranged in a Jack and Jill style, with a shared private bathroom between each pair.

Rooms sit adjacent to the house where guests can spend time on the covered patio, by the fire, or in the dining room.

Dedicated Wader Room

Say goodbye to cold, damp starts. Their dedicated heated wader and gear room is designed so guests can comfortably don and doff gear each day, keeping everything warm, dry, and ready for the water. It’s the kind of detail that makes every fishing day better.

Mornings begin with an elevated continental breakfast, thoughtfully prepared to fuel early adventures, whether you're heading to the river or enjoying a slow start. In the evenings, return to comforting, generous meals that balance rustic charm with refined flavor—hearty, nourishing, and made to be shared.

Good food, good company, and a view of the setting sun—this is lodge dining at its best.

Primary Species

Atlantic Salmon

Atlantic salmon fishing offers not only the thrill of the catch, but also a deep connection with nature and a sense of heritage, making it a prized species to target for anglers seeking adventure and challenge in unspoiled river environments.

Guests are transported and positioned in time-honoured, pole-driven traditional canoes, offering a classic and immersive way to fish the river while preserving the heritage of this legendary fishery.

Striped Bass

Sight fishing to small pods and massive schools in a pressure-free ecosystem makes this a world-class, little-known fishery. Early season brings tailing and blitzing bass in inches of water; later, large flashing schools offer nonstop sight fishing action.

Guests of Gaspé Coastal target striped bass on the salt flats of Baie des Chaleurs from stable, purpose-built skiff boats, creating a dynamic flats-style experience in a stunning coastal setting.

Sea Run Brook Trout

Fishing for native sea-run brook trout in the Gaspé often takes you deep into the backcountry, exploring remote stretches of water off the beaten path. This experience is not for the faint of heart, but the effort is well worth it- many anglers liken it to the wild, clear water fishing found in New Zealand.
