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

• Overview

  Lac des Myriques is listed under Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. Beyond the shoreline you have spruce and muskeg. It runs to roughly 15 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. With about 3.8 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. The town to know is Normandin, 62 km out. Albanel follows at 65 km, then Saint-Félicien at 78 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Myriques

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Lac des Myriques gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -19°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac des Myriques.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac Telliere sits 1.6 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac des Myriques should be assumed from this page alone.
