Lac Accons Fishing in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  The Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean end of Quebec holds Lac Accons. It sits at 461 metres above sea level. It covers about 3 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is a small entry by Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean standards. For supplies, Normandin is 71 km out. Albanel is 76 km away, with Saint-Félicien at 83 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Accons

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Lac Accons responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Lac Accons runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Livraque sits 1.6 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lac Accons are worth checking on the day.
