PALM 2026
PALM in numbers
Powered by the financial support of the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP), as well as the invaluable support of Saumon Québec's partners, the PALM Festival showcases fly fishing through the eyes of local and international videographers.
Where the passion of fly fishing
meets the big screen
Presented by the Fédération québécoise pour le saumon atlantique (FQSA), the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) and in collaboration with Hooké, the PALM fly fishing festival takes you on a captivating tour through video projects that highlight the richness of the Canadian territory and the diversity of fly-fished species.
A space for creators
The video artists selected by the organizing committee will be sharing an impressive $30,000 grant offered by the FQSA. Through their creations, they share much more than images: a passion, a way of life, a culture. All while transporting you to breathtaking locations.
A place to gather
The PALM Festival is also a unique space for fishing enthusiasts, nature and film lovers. It's an opportunity to exchange ideas with committed organizations and to forge links around a shared passion.
Memorable evenings
During the evening screenings, audiences can discover short films of 5 to 15 minutes, made by selected talents. And that's not all! Films from the presenting organizations - FQSA, FSA and Hooké - will also be featured.
