Lac Allegrin near Normandin: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Set in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, this is Lac Allegrin. Country round the bank runs to taiga. At about 14 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. With about 2.7 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Normandin lies 33 km from the water. After that come Saint-Félicien at 40 km and Albanel at 40 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Allegrin

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lac Allegrin the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -18°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It holds true on Lac Allegrin more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Lac du Heron, 1.2 km away. Confirm before you fish Lac Allegrin.
