Lac du Moulin Fishing near Normandin, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Moulin sits in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, out in Quebec. The bank is 340 metres above sea level. On water this small, stealth matters more than range.

No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Moulin

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean cover northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Lac du Moulin to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 16°C at the top of summer and -18°C at the bottom of winter. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac du Moulin fishes to that pattern most years.

• 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. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Lac du Criquet, 1 km away. Nothing on Lac du Moulin should be assumed from this page alone.
