Location: The outfitter has two good size lakes under exclusive rights off the Penetration road out of Senneterre (one 5-1/2 miles long Lac Choiseul; another 7-1/2 miles long Lac Capitachouane) He has one cabin on each lake and guarantees your group the only group on the lake during your stay… (see detailed topo maps at bottom below)
You can see the exclusive territory and proximity to Senneterre by checking out the Senneterre Outfitters Map.
Proprietor, Jean Sigouin, says both lakes are excellent fishing for walleye and pike. He has a catch-and-release rule on Pike over a certain size to protect the trophy fishery and only one trophy pike may be kept per group (if wanted.)
Lac Choiseul cabin holds 6 people. This cabin has running water, flush toilets and shower, propane refrigerator and generator electricity in the evenings for a few hours / propane lighting after 9pm. Jean's cabin/main lodge is nearby.
Lac Capitachouane The cabin(s) on Lac Capitachouane have hand pump water and an outhouse. He mentioned this camp has a main cabin and a dorm cabin - can sleep up to 10 I believe… I think the set-up is very much like the outpost cabin at Lac Mesplet/Kapitachuan. A main kitchen cabin with hand-pump water, stove, propane fridge, etc. and a dorm bunkhouse cabin for sleeping. He says this lake is very rocky and has some unmarked rockpiles and because of that, he does not like to rent motors on the lake. Sounds a bit treacherous and/or a lake that you'd want someone who knows the water.
He doesn't have a website and evidently doesn't need one… He's already booked solid through July next year, as he has a good chunk of repeat business annually (and obviously limited capacity)…
He did say that late summer is also good fishing (like we did at Dumoine.)
These camps are run by Frank and Jean Segouin (former owners of Kapitachuan Club to the North.) My old man says that Choiseul used to be the trophy pike/guide only lake as part of Kapitachuan Club. They called it the "South Camp Trophy Lake." He said they fished it and the big pike fishing is superb - and some real lunkers lurk in the waters… He was surprised to hear that the lake was still open for outfitter fishing (he thought Frank retired there after he sold the Kapitachuan Club proper.) My old man only fished Lac Choiseul.

Detailed Map of Lac Choiseul: (Note: my old man says the cabin is located on the western point at mid-lake and excellent pike fishing in spring was just north of point in bay to the northwest next to camp)
