Lac de la Tombee, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac de la Tombee sits within Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean in Quebec. Height above sea level is 363 metres. Labrecque at 63 km is the nearest place to stop. Pont Rouge follows at 64 km, then L'Ascension-de-Notre-Seigneur at 64 km. Others within reach: Lac Yza out at 1.5 km, Lac des Souches roughly 1.7 km, Lac Michaud out at 1.9 km, Lac du Canular roughly 1.9 km and Lac Croche out at 2.2 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Tombee

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. County-wide records name northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Anyone new to Lac de la Tombee should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -19°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Lac de la Tombee fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Lac Yza, 1.5 km out. Check the position on Lac de la Tombee before loading the car.
