• Where to Fish on Lac Gregoire

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean list 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. On Lac Gregoire a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -17°C to 17°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Lac Eloigne is 2.3 km distant. Treat Lac Gregoire as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
