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

• Overview

  Lac Lazer lies in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, in Quebec. Around the bank it is taiga. It covers about 9 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Nearest town is Normandin, 64 km off. It is 181 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. Neighbouring water: Lac Riveral near enough 1.1 km, Lac Cruas just 1.7 km, Lac Etire near enough 1.8 km, Lac Montils just 2 km and Lac de la Cabane near enough 2.7 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lazer

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Lac Lazer the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -18°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Lac Lazer the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Lac Riveral is 1.1 km distant. Treat Lac Lazer as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
