Fishing near Laval, Quebec

Laval sits on Île Jésus, an island in the greater Montreal region bounded by the Rivière des Prairies to the south and the Rivière des Mille Îles to the north. Those two rivers, along with the nearby Fleuve Saint-Laurent, give city anglers quick access to productive freshwater fishing without leaving the urban area. Smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye are the most frequently caught species, and local shore spots like Berge de la Halte-à-la-Rivière and Berge de l'Alose on the Rivière des Prairies see regular action.
