TRINITY RIVER DESCRIPTION
Trinité
General Presentation
This North Shore river provide salmon anglers with a majestic setting and winding waters abundant with superb grilse and salmon ready to surmount the river's rapids and falls on their way to the spawning grounds.
The Trinité rivers is located on the Upper North Shore of the St Lawrence, east of the Pointe des Monts, considered to be the upstream border of the Gulf of St Lawrence.
The mouth of the Trinité River is located 95 km east of the city of Baie-Comeau. It flows southward over a distance of 74 km before reaching the Gulf of St Lawrence, at the village of Baie-Trinité.
The Petite-Trinité River flows southward for a distance of 30 km finally reaching the Gulf of St Lawrence 16 miles east of the Trinité River.
Historical Background
With the arrival of the St Lawrence Company in 1929, sportsfishing 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).
Management Framework
The Trinité and the Petite-Trinité rivers are classified as Atlantic salmon zec's (Zec de la Trinité), under the management of the Société d'aménagement de Baie-Trinité (SABT). It should be noted that the Petite-Trinité is also located within the Zec-Faune which is also under the management of the SABT.
