Lac Duck near Saint-Honoré: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Duck belongs to Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. It sits at 798 metres above sea level. At 4 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean. Saint-Honoré at 28 km is the nearest place to stop. After that come Saint-Fulgence at 30 km and Chicoutimi at 37 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Duck

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean include 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. At Lac Duck the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 15°C on average, January about -19°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid May. The open-water window runs from around mid May to about early November in an average year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Lac Duck fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Lac Rocky, 0.7 km away. Nothing on Lac Duck should be assumed from this page alone.
