Soft grey light all day today, with a busy SSW wind on the open water with a settled glass. Fish at Lac Busliere should hold close to points where shallow meets deep. Save your energy for the night. Change depth before you change anything else. The season of moving fish: stay mobile and watch for bait.

Look for Lac Busliere in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. The ground round it is spruce and muskeg. For a base, Leblanc sits 70 km out. Normandin is 106 km away, with Weymontachie at 106 km. Within a short run: Lac Melin the better part of 1 km, Lac Merault 1.5 km away, Lac Chape the better part of 1.9 km, Lac Larnas 2.4 km away and Lac Bouvent the better part of 2.5 km. No border sits close enough to matter.
The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean include northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Lac Busliere repays a walk before the first cast.
Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -18°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan any trip to Lac Busliere around it.
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. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Melin, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Lac Busliere is worth confirming on the day.
