Fishing Lac du Poste in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, this is Lac du Poste. The land about it is boreal forest. It runs to roughly 11 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 1.7 km of margin, front to back. Labrecque lies 82 km from the water. L'Ascension-de-Notre-Seigneur is 86 km and Saint-Honoré 86 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Poste

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Lac du Poste the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 16°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Expect Lac du Poste to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Lac dela Tour at 1.9 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position at Lac du Poste before loading the car.
