Lac du Corbeau Fishing near Saint-Prime, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac du Corbeau falls inside Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean. The ground around here is boreal forest. It covers about 2 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean. Start from Saint-Prime, 48 km down the road. After that come Roberval at 48 km and Saint-Félicien at 48 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Corbeau

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean cover 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. Read Lac du Corbeau for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 16°C. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Corbeau.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Lac Renard is 1 km off. None of that is settled for Lac du Corbeau in what we hold.
