Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Anyone new to Lac du Coin should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -17°C to 17°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Lac du Coin that shapes the whole year.
