Leaf River Lodge offers a distinct fishing season that runs from early August through late September. This period is prime time for targeting Atlantic salmon, which are actively migrating up the river, providing an exciting challenge for anglers. Alongside the salmon, lake trout and brook trout are also readily available, offering a diverse fishing experience in the pristine waters of Northern Quebec. The lodge's remote location on the Leaf River, flowing from Hudson Bay to Ungava Bay, ensures an unspoiled environment for these species, making the late summer and early fall the ideal window for an unforgettable angling adventure. Beyond the fishing, this season is also when the lodge offers its renowned photo expeditions. Guests can witness the spectacular migration of the Leaf River caribou herd, observe willow ptarmigan and black bears, and even have a chance to see the northern lights. The combination of world-class fishing and unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities makes this late summer to early fall window the signature experience at Leaf River Lodge.
