Rivière Petit Saguenay is a storied Atlantic salmon river flowing through the breathtaking landscape of the Saguenay Fjord region in Quebec, Canada. Managed as a controlled harvesting zone (ZEC) by the Association de la Rivière Petit-Saguenay since 1966, this river carries a rich history of sport fishing that stretches back to the 19th century, when lumber baron William Price held exclusive salmon fishing rights. The river's water carries a distinctive light brown tint from suspended minerals, with ochre, red earth, and brown reflections that give it a wild, untamed character. With an average flow of 16 cubic metres per second (570 cu ft/s), the Petit-Saguenay offers a diverse range of fishing conditions — from calm, low-flow stretches ideal for beginners to fast, lively currents that challenge even the most experienced salmon anglers. The river runs through 13 kilometres of prime fishing water, with 24 clearly identified pools arranged along its course, most located within 30 metres of the road for easy access.
