Lac Egee Fishing in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Egee is a Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean water, Quebec side. It sits in northern bush country. Normandin sits 61 km from the bank. After that come Albanel at 65 km and Saint-Félicien at 76 km. Within a short run: 1.3 km away is Lac Livet, Lac Atala within 1.7 km, 1.9 km away is Lac Thibeault, Lac Pandion within 1.9 km and 2.5 km away is Lac Dorier. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Egee

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Lac Egee gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 16°C. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. That shapes the year on Lac Egee.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Lac Livet is 1.3 km distant. None of that is settled for Lac Egee in what we hold.
