2006

2006 fishing season : Excellence continues 2006 well reflects Le Domaine Oregnac’s fishing potential. A grand total of 4563 brook trout were caught with an average weight of about half a pound, from 29 lakes including Sault-Aux-Cochons river. June, july and september were particularly good while august was somewhat slow this year.

Jean Pinard from Trois-Rivières visited us four times in 2006, and here’s his 2.8 pounds trout caught on Labor Day in September.

By the way... Fishing in September is becoming Le Domaine Oregnac’s best kept secret. Our favourite lake in 2006 was the Mimo which gave a total of 558 native trout, with an average weight of 6.5 oz.

Each winner gets a free day for his group in 2007. Mr. Marcel Derommé from Verdun won the june contest with a 4.6 pounds trout.

Small game hunting : FROM BEST TO BETTER For a fourth year in a row, more than 200 partridge were brought back at Le Domaine Orégnac. In fact, a new record of 250 ruffed grouse and 42 savannas grouse were brought back, for a total of 292 partridge, 44 more than 248 in 2005.

Big game hunting : A wonderful season Four moose were shot, one 48 inches antler buck, another one with a 42 inches antler, and two small males. So, 2006 was a great year for the hunters and almost for the outfitter.

Chasse à l'ours : 17 bears have been killed (8 on the first hunting day) for a 90% of success rate. That allows me to say that 2006 was one of the best bear hunting season.

Bear hunting : -Solar energy -Improvements

In 2007, all 3 cabins at Mimo lake will be equipped with solar energy for increased comfort and better lighting. Finally, we’ll see much better what we’re eating for dinner !

Plongeurs lake's cabin We received a lot of very nice comments from the folks who tried this brand new cabin. For its first year, this cabin has reached 85% of occupancy rate. The most important is the happy and satisfied folks who enjoyed it. Those people have tasted the great calm and comfort that we find in there.
