Lake Hébert

The ultimate walleye fishing experience by floatplane

Located in the southern part of the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James territory, Lake Hébert is our exclusive area known for producing exceptional quality and quantity of walleye. Accessible only by seaplane, it’s a 45-minute flight from our Clova base that takes you to the best walleye fishing lake in Quebec. Lake Hébert is every angler’s dream, nothing less!

Lake Hébert is a true “walleye factory.” Several factors allow this abundance, including the water color, the very varied and rugged depths, the excellent supply of oxygenated water, the quantity of prey, and the quality of the spawning grounds. Our fishing management promoting the release of breeding fish also contributes to making Lake Hébert a superior-quality lake for walleye fishing.
