Lac de la Petite Truite Fishing Guide, Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Petite Truite stands in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. The country round it is northern bush from end to end. With some 11 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. A shoreline of some 1.6 km keeps the choices simple. 45 km away sits Roberval, the nearest town. Beyond it, Saint-Prime at 46 km and Saint-Félicien at 47 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Petite Truite

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. 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. Records held for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean cover northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Fish Lac de la Petite Truite to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 16°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Expect Lac de la Petite Truite to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lac du Pit de Gravelle is 2.6 km distant. The position on Lac de la Petite Truite is worth confirming on the day.
