Lac Avignon, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

• Where to Fish on Lac Avignon

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Take Lac Avignon a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -18°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Expect Lac Avignon to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Salerm, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Lac Avignon carry more weight than any list.
