The Véco River is a river in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec, Canada.

Location

The Véco River is 80 kilometres (50 mi) long and its watershed covers 1,016 square kilometres (392 sq mi). The river drains Lake Robertson Lake, Lake Charles and Lake Blais. It empties into Ha! Ha! Bay.[1] The mouth of the river is in the municipality of Gros-Mécatina in Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality.[2]

Name

The river is named after Jean-Baptiste Véco, a notary-royal, who exercised his profession in Acadia in the 17th century.[3]

Fishing

In 2017 all salmon, large and small, had to be released on the Malbaie (Gaspé Pensinsula), Pigou, Au Bouleau, Magpie, Coacoachou, Nétagamiou, Petit Mécatina and Véco rivers. Only young salmon could be retained on 51 rivers, and limited retention of large salmon was allowed on 19 rivers.[4]
