It is beautiful in Dunany, even when it rains!

Which was the case on Monday noon October 9 when the trout from La Pisciculture Mont-Tremblant were delivered to stock Boyd and Curran Lakes. About 750 trout, both Speckled and Rainbow, to be shared between the two lakes.

The first batch of trout was delivered by Jim Amstrong’s place (above with a helpful neighbour). Then on to Curran. This is home for Rod Armstrong, Dunany’s Chief Fisherman and the person in charge of the lake stocking program for the DCA.

The association has been sponsoring this program for many years not only for the enjoyment of fishermen but also because it is a good indicator of the quality of the water in our lakes. To survive and to thrive, trout need cool, clear and well oxygenated water.

This Web site is sponsored by the Dunany Community Association (DCA), a community based organization, made up of people who reside in proximity to its surrounding lakes: Clear, Boyd, Black and Curran, free of motor boats.

The association’s raison d’être is to protect, maintain and enhance the quality of its environment, notably the quality of the water in its four lakes. The association also supports the development of community spirit by enabling social and cultural activities.

The association was founded in 1963 and is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors. It works closely with the two other pillars of Dunany, namely the Dunany Country Club and the Church of St-Paul’s of Dunany.

Dunany is located in Canada's Laurentian Mountains, 10 km north of Lachute, and about an hour away from Montreal, Quebec.
