The Staff
Paul Ostiguy
Managing Partner
Having acquired and managed McKenzie River Lodge since 2008 which is now a world class fly fishing destination, it was time for a new adventure. I had fished the Ungava Bay region several times for arctic char with the dream of returning there. Spending time in Nunavik, in this preserved nature, its fauna, its flora and with its wonderful people is a life-changing experience. We are truly blessed.
Simon Sylvestre
Guide
A globetrotter, he lives out his passion for fishing all year long. Like Andrew, he joined the McKenzie River Lodge team in 2015. His enthusiasm, cheerfulness and knowledge of the water make him an invaluable companion to our guests.
Réjean Sini
Guide
A confirmed salmon fishing guide, Réjean has been practicing his talents on the Godbout River for many years. His knowledge and experience of navigation at sea are invaluable to our team. Identifying the places where the fish feed according to the tides, adapting to different situations are assets that our customers will appreciate.

Les ombles chevaliers arctiques migrent vers la baie d’Ungava après la période de frai. Ils ont peu de temps pour retrouver leur forme avant de remonter les rivières locales pour frayer. Ils parcourent les nombreuses îles de la baie à la recherche de krill et de poissons-appâts. Choisissez donc bien vos mouches ou vos leurres pour imiter ces proies.
