Fishing Lac des Corbeaux in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac des Corbeaux falls in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, part of Quebec. It sits at 296 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 16 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The edge runs 2.2 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. Pont Rouge is the closest place, 37 km off. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 103 km away. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Corbeaux

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. 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. On Lac des Corbeaux the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -19°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Lac des Corbeaux.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac des Ecureuils at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Lac des Corbeaux in what we hold.
