Modification of the offer
The personal boat fishing package will no longer be offered in the Joncas sector as of the 2025 season. Thus, it will no longer be possible to use your personal watercraft on the lakes of these sectors. Through the deployment of these measures, Sépaq continues its involvement in the fight against aquatic invasive species and further protects the bodies of water it manages by reducing the risk of spread.

You should also inspect your equipment that has been in contact with the water (trailer, motor, livewell, fishing gear, etc.) and remove any adhering organisms. Furthermore, you need to empty and drain all water from your equipment, then clean and dry it. For more details
