The Trinité River lies adjacent to the Godbout, some 95 kilometers (59 miles) away. Once accessible only to a wealthy few, this river was entirely opened to public angling through a local ZEC in May 1976. This jewel of a river is very popular among anglers, many of whom fish nowhere else.
The Trinité River runs a distance of 74 kilometers (46 miles) to the town of Baie-Trinité, where it empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Managed by ZEC Trinité, the stream is comprised of 67 pools divided in two sectors: one provides unlimited access, while the other limits the number of rods. Wade fishing is the rule on this river, which features small to medium-sized pools. Route 138 provides access to all of sector 1 and parts of sector 2 (11 kilometers, or 7 miles). Access to the upper reaches of sector 2 to its limit at Mile 22 bridge is provided by a dirt road that runs along the river. River levels can change abruptly following a heavy rain, but rarely enough to stop the fishing. Quebec biologists have been using the Trinité as a witness river of salmon resources on the North Shore, which underscores the importance of this salmon stream.
Besides the Atlantic salmon, there are 7 other species of fish in the Trinité River: brook char, American eel, alewife, long nose sucker, three spine stickleback, five spine stickleback, nine spine stickleback, red char, and white sucker.
Historic Of the River
With the arrival of the St Lawrence Company in 1929, sportfishing on the Trinité River really began. The company owned exclusive fishing rights to the river, with access to fishing limited to company executives and their guests. During the 1950's these rights were turned over to Domtar which continued its forestry operations in the region until the 1960's when a fire destroyed its mill. The company terminated its operations but retained its fishing club.
In 1976, when Domtar's lease expired, the Trinité River finally became accessible to all Québec anglers. That year, management of the river was turned over to an organization whose membership was drawn from the angling community (SABT), ending 50 years of private club ownership of fishing rights to the river. On April 8, 1978, the Zec de la rivière Trinité was created, under the stewardship of the Société d'aménagement de Baie-Trinité (SABT).

River Ethics
Rules of Conduct on the Trinité Rivers
Given that the Trinité river pools are not large, it is impossible to implement the "Take Turns" system on the river. Therefore the "½ Hour Rotation" system is in effect in order that all anglers have an equal chance to access the best pools.
It is understandable why the "½ Hour Rotation" system is mandatory, given that the goal is to respect all anglers' rights of access and provide them with the opportunity to try their luck on the river.
