The Moisie River is a spectacular, wild national treasure, but is known mostly only to experienced canoeists and wealthy sport fishers. This anonymity has saved it, because the river has become as much known for its pristine wilderness state as it has for the quality of its scenery and fishery. The Moisie rises in Labrador's Lake Opacopa and flows 410 kilometres south across Quebec's breathtaking Côte-Nord to meet the St. Lawrence River. The Moisie's Valley is steep, rugged and deep and is lined with untouched stands of spruce, fir, birch and aspen. The river's volume and discharge is remarkable for its size, and its beats are characterized by falls, rapids and pools replete with salmon. Some of the largest Atlantic salmon on record have been caught here.
