Lac Aubertin Fishing Guide, Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Aubertin in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. It lies 401 metres above sea level. About 6 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The closest town, Chibougamau, is 76 km away. Chapais follows at 89 km, then Normandin at 109 km. Others close at hand: Lac Reans 0.9 km, Lac Retaud within 1.2 km, Lac Tendon 1.5 km, Lac Tavenet within 2.5 km and Lac Limace 2.5 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Aubertin

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Anyone new to Lac Aubertin should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -19°C. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. It holds true on Lac Aubertin more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Part of this sits inside or beside Réserve faunique Ashuapmushuan, so read the notices. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Reans, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Lac Aubertin carry more weight than any list.
