About This Outpost

Remote fly-in outpost cabin located in a remote Northwest bay near the outflow of the Broadback River from Lac Evans in the James Bay Territory of northern Quebec. This camp provides quick access to either lake or river fishing in a secluded portion of this large lake, offering trophy northern pike, walleye, lake sturgeon, and burbot fishing in the Broadback and Rupert River basins. One party per cabin each week for total privacy, with a camp caretaker on-site and optional guiding. The three cabins are widely separated on this large lake for optimal seclusion. Cabins have indoor waterless urinals.

Lake Information

Part of the Canadian Grand Slam waters of Quebec featuring Northern Pike, Walleye, Lake Sturgeon, and Burbot with true trophy potential. Lac Evans is widely regarded as the best trophy pike lake in Quebec, and perhaps in the eastern half of Canada, and it has produced a world record silver pike of 49 inches and 38.3 pounds. Located roughly 130 kilometers (81 miles) southeast of James Bay, it is the largest lake along the Broadback River system. Lac Evans is a relatively shallow water body with an average depth of 18 feet, with a highly irregular shoreline, defined by long bays, narrow channels, and extensive lake arms. The surrounding landscape is largely low-lying subarctic boreal forest and wetland, though the southern edge features elevated terrain marked by the Reid and Middleton Mountains. It receives water from nearby Lake Le Gardeur to the east via the Théodat River and Lake Dana to the west.
