Mont-Tremlbant Parc (SÉPAQ) imposes fees for road-side access to the Diable River Fly Fishing Sector. Fly anglers are required to pay daily/annual fees to access certain trails along Sector 1 to 4 of the Diable River from Duplessis Road. See HERE for more details and to purchase your daily access pass.


Diable River Fishing Sector Access Map.NaturAventur works in close collaboration with the City's Sentiers-Tremblant to improve access, trails and signage of the Diable River Fishing Sector.  The access points and trails map for the Canot-Kayak-Fishing sector is also available at the Tourism Information Offices.

FORECASTED FISHING CONDITIONS:


Week of May 19 (DRFI 3.0)  Everything is lining up for a great week of angling on area streams, rivers and lakes.  Starting with a long weekend of time to enjoy the great outdoors on area waters.  The flow of the Diable River is starting out the coming week in the mid teens at around 15 m3/sec which opens up many new mid-river wading opportunities.  As has been the case over the past weeks, some precipitation is in the forecast during mid-week which will keep us guessing and could bump up water levels depending on rain amounts.  We are seeing an increase in bug activity now that the tree leaf cover is starting to emerge and baitfish are also active.  Streamer presentations remain your best options drifting them along the deeper and slower areas of current.  But look to swing some nymphs as well should there be a hatch or two happening. Stillwater trout lakes in the region will continue to offer good fishing opportunities.  The warming lake water temperatures are favouring greater batfish and insect activity which will offer favourable trout action. 
                _________________________   

​Week of May 12 (DRFI 2.0)  Despite the persistent rainy weather forecasts we are not getting any significant volumes of precipitation which has allowed area streams and rivers to drop in levels over the past week.  The Diable River is starting out the coming week near the 25 m3/sec range which opens up many new near bank wading opportunities.  But again... some rainy weather forecast for the start of the week will keep us guessing.  We are seeing an increase in bug activity now that the tree leaf cover is starting to emerge.  Baitfish are also active.  Bankside streamer presentations remain your best options drifting them along the deeper and slower areas of current.   Stillwater trout lakes in the region will continue to offer good fishing opportunities.  The warming lake water temperatures are favouring greater batfish and insect activity which will offer favourable trout action. 
                _________________________   
 

Week of May 6 (DRFI 1.0) 

The region is experiencing frequent precipitation events which are keeping area streams and rivers flowing at moderately high levels.  The Diable River is expected to flow in the near 40 m3/sec range during the coming week making wading not advisable at this time and bank fishing opportunities still limited.  Insect activity remains very limited.  Bankside streamer presentations are your best options drifting them along the deeper and slower areas of current.   Stillwater lakes in the region remain the better fishing opportunities for the coming weeks under cold water conditions.  Look for surface trout action to gradually improve over the coming weeks as water temperatures increase and baitfish become more active.

News and things

OUR WATERS

 

The DIABLE RIVER is a fairly wide mountain-fed freestone river with a expansive watershed which makes it very responsive to precipitations. During early spring in April and May, water levels can be at flood levels or very high depending on ice and snow melt as well as springtime precipitations. Water temperatures can also be less than optimal for trout this time of year and afternoons on sunny days present the best fishing opportunities. The months June and July offer some of the best water conditions with optimal temperatures and levels throughout the day. Prolonged precipitations do however affect conditions during this period. As water levels drop to their lowest levels in August and September, the features of the Diable river become much better defined and the slower pace of the currents offer the best dry fly opportunities of the year. Early mornings and evenings are the best fishing times but some good surprises are always in store outside these periods. The fishing season on the Diable extends to the end of November for bass and pike with trout on a catch and release only basis from mid-September.

The DIABLE RIVER FLY FISHING ONLY SECTOR consists mainly of long stretches of pocket water, at times deep, with scattered but poorly defined pools. Streamers and nymphs are recommended for the most part with good dry fly opportunities after July. Caddis flies are abundant throughout the season with the most prolific hatches occurring in early June. There is also a good population of stoneflies with the best hatches occurring at the end of June. Mayflies are not in large abundance on the Diable, in terms of numbers and variety. Hatches are limited in size and duration with imitation or attractor patterns being the most consistent performers.

STREAMS AND TRIBUTARIES of the Diable watershed offer good spring-time fishing opportunities for brook trout and also for brown trout. Depending on the amount of precipitation during the season, these can offer good fishing throughout the season.

STILLWATER lakes provide good early season fishing opportunities for surface action on brook and rainbow trout, lake trout and also landlocked salmon on selected lakes. Several area lakes contain good populations of bass, pike, muskie and other sportfish which offers good fishing opportunities during the entire summer months with rising 

temperatures. Most can be taken on a fly. Personal boat access on area lakes is restricted and fishing them may require access fees, the services of a professional guide or use of on-site rentals.

Our proprietary DIABLE RIVER FISHING INDEX (DRFI) complements our fishing condition forecasts to help you better plan your fishing adventure. Factors that determine the DRFI include river flow levels, water temperature, weather forecasts, insect hatches and fish activity.
