• Where to Fish on Lac du Poisson-Qui-Mord

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean include northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Lac du Poisson-Qui-Mord the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 16°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. The season on Lac du Poisson-Qui-Mord rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Lac du Trou is 0.8 km off. Ask locally about Lac du Poisson-Qui-Mord if anything is unclear.
