Lac de la Lune, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac de la Lune falls inside Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean. The bank is 726 metres above sea level. Small at around 7 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is high ground by Quebec standards. Saint-Fulgence is the closest place, 39 km off. Saint-Honoré lies 47 km off, La Baie another 47 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Lune

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in 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. Read Lac de la Lune before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 15°C on average, January about -18°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid May. The lid tends to go about mid May and return around early November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Lac de la Lune the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac du Soir at 0.4 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lac de la Lune carry more weight than any list.
