Lac Blizon, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Blizon is listed under Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec. It lies 375 metres above sea level. It measures about 10 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The edge runs 1.4 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. The closest town, Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, is 61 km away. Saguenay is the closest city, 404 km away. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Blizon

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine records list American eel, striped bass, alewife, rainbow smelt and brook trout 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 Blizon the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -14°C in January up to 16°C in July. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Blizon.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Bouchard at 3.5 km is the sensible second choice. Treat Lac Blizon as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
