Lac Equerre Fishing near Saint-Fulgence, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Equerre is a Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean water, Quebec side. It stands 666 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 22 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The whole outline is near 4.4 km, and most of it is walkable. It is high ground by Quebec standards. For supplies, Saint-Fulgence is 38 km out. It is 49 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Equerre

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean: northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lac Equerre light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -19°C in January and 15°C in July. The ice season is long here and the open one short. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid May. Ice usually gives way near mid May, and forms again about early November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. That is the shape of the year on Lac Equerre.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Lac Decouvert is 1 km off. Check the position at Lac Equerre before loading the car.
