Lac Blondelas, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Blondelas stands in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. The ground round it is taiga. This is sizeable water at about 2.23 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The margin runs to about 16 km in total. It is among the larger waters listed here for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean. The closest town, Albanel, is 54 km away. Beyond it, Normandin at 58 km and Dolbeau-Mistassini at 63 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Blondelas

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The near bank of Lac Blondelas is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -20°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Blondelas.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Lac Touladi, 2.4 km away. What applies at Lac Blondelas may have changed since it was mapped.
