The "Company St Laurence Paper Ltd  held exclusive fishing rights on the rivers Great Trinity and Little Trinity from 1930s to early 1960s, when it has assigned its rights to Domtar. Formerly, many wealthy people have joined the Domtar exclusive club.

At the time, this new mode of management of a salmon river by a non-profit set a precedent. In 1978, the "réserve de chasse et pêche de Baie-Trinité" (Reserve Fish and Game of Trinity Bay) was created through an order in council, adding the two existing reserves (Trinity River and Small Trinity River) a territory of 356 square kilometers. Subsequently, the Trinity River has achieved the status of zone d'exploitation contrôlée (controlled harvesting zone) or the  Rivière de la Trinité. In 1982, due to its geographical location, its relative importance and its facilities (metering station and recording salmon), the Great Trinity River served as a dedicated study area for salmon. This project was made possible with the proper operation of the fish ladder at the dam of the same Great Trinity River. This project allows the Company that manages the River Grande Trinity to keep a high potential for the future of salmon. Since the founding of the "Development of Trinity Bay Company," the presidents who have succeeded are: Jacques Landry, Louis C. Roussy, Richard Dion , Georges Gagnon and Denis Lejeune. Many salmon anglers now set their sights on the river, so attending annually.
