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

• Overview

  The Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean entry here is Lac Entyme, in Quebec. It lies 238 metres above sea level. Small at around 9 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. 25 km away sits Dolbeau-Mistassini, the nearest town. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 115 km away. What else is close: Lac a la Croix (1.4 km), Petit lac Mathieu some 2.8 km off, Lac Manard (2.8 km), Lac Abel some 3.2 km off and Lac C (3.3 km). No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Entyme

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lac Entyme the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 17°C and January near -19°C on the long-run figures. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac Entyme fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Lac a la Croix at 1.4 km is the nearest alternative. What applies at Lac Entyme may have changed since it was mapped.
