Cooper Black Bear Camp, located in the fabulous game reserve north of Ashuapmushan, is the ideal place for an unforgettable black bear and fishing adventure. It is 7 hours' driving distance from Montreal or 5 hours from Quebec. Over twenty lakes with an incredible fishing potential are part of the territory exploited by Cooper Camp. Located on the edge of Ventadour Lake, in an area of water covering approximately 2400 square miles, dotted with a host of island sanctuaries, the site has satisfied fishermen and black bear hunters, season after season, for over 11 years.
So, why is Cooper Camp so famous for its high quality fishing and black bear hunting? It's because management has, from the outset, adopted and enforced strict practices regarding the up-keep of lakes and fishing quotas. Fish stocks are never stressed during the spawning season, so that the larger specimens can reproduce naturally. Also, two or three lakes are closed annually on a rotational basis so as to ensure proper replenishment of fish stocks. Meanwhile, two other lakes are kept open for your constant enjoyment. As for black bear hunting, we do a lot to protect female and cub.
For the past 10 consecutive years, the Cooper Camp has been able to maintain a very high success rate with bears weighing over 300, 350, and even 400 pounds. To help sustain the black bear population, we limit hunters to our prime territory of 2,500 square miles and rotate the different hunting grounds, thus ensuring aquality hunt year after year. Also enjoy some of the best pike and walleye fishing in Quebec. Northern Pike abounds-some weighing up to 35 pounds, and Walleye and Giant Pike sometimes reach a respectable 15 pounds.
The village, formerly dedicated to forestry during the 1940's, has now been restored and renovated to accommodate you with great charm and comfort. The main lodge has an upper floor where rustic rooms can accommodate one or two people. Small groups can choose from a number of cozy cottages located on the Cooper Domain. The cottages, which are usually two stories, can accommodate 4 to 12 people. Each cottage has independent generator-powered commodities, a kitchen, a living room and complete bathrooms.
