• Overview

  Lac Lemoine falls in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, part of Quebec. This is boreal forest ground. Surface area runs to roughly 2.45 sq km, so plan for one area rather than the whole.

It is 109 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lemoine

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean list northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Lac Lemoine the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 16°C and January reads -19°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan any trip to Lac Lemoine around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Lac de la Grosse-Panse, 0.3 km away. Where Lac Lemoine is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
