Last time I was at Barrage Gouin was 30+ years ago, pike fishing. That lake can really froth up when a storm comes through in the summer, i don't imagine winter storms to be any friendlier in that area, as far as wind and visibility go. I think I was about 7 or 8 at the time. I do remember it being a hell of a long drive coming in from Lac St John, and the logging roads seemed to go on forever. good times - please post some more pics of the gouin - thanks, J.P.
