Lac Eternite, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, this is Lac Eternite. The ground round it is spruce and muskeg. Surface area is around 21 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Roughly 3.1 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. You are 61 km from Labrecque. L'Ascension-de-Notre-Seigneur is 62 km and Sainte-Monique 65 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Eternite

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Public occurrence data for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean names 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. Work Lac Eternite in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -19°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Lac Eternite follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Premier lac Ulysse is 1.4 km off. Check the position on Lac Eternite before loading the car.
