The Camp | Lodging

Cooper Black Bear Camp, located in the fabulous game reserve north of Ashuapmushan, is the ideal place for an unforgettable black bear and fishing adventure. It is 7 hours' driving distance from Montreal or 5 hours from Quebec. Over twenty lakes with an incredible fishing potential are part of the territory exploited by Cooper Camp. Located on the edge of Ventadour Lake, in an area of water covering approximately 2400 square miles, dotted with a host of island sanctuaries, the site has satisfied fishermen and black bear hunters, season after season, for over 11 years. Here, Northern Pike abounds-some weighing up to 35 pounds, and Walleye and Giant Pike sometimes reach a respectable 15 pounds. Black Bear of 300,400 and even 450 pounds are taken every year.

So, why is Cooper Camp so famous for its high quality
fishing and black bear hunting ?

It's because management has, from the outset, adopted and enforced strict practices regarding the up-keep of lakes and fishing quotas. Fish stocks are never stressed during the spawning season, so that the larger specimens can reproduce naturally. Also, two or three lakes are closed annually on a rotational basis so as to ensure proper replenishment of fish stocks. Meanwhile, two other lakes are kept open for your constant enjoyment. As for black bear hunting, we do a lot to protect female and cub.
