Lac Limony Fishing near Saint-Honoré, Quebec

• Overview

  Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean in Quebec is where Lac Limony sits. It stands 182 metres above sea level. At about 27 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Around 4.7 km of margin, front to back. It is low-lying compared with other Quebec water we list. Nearest town is Saint-Honoré, 8.9 km off. After that come Saint-Fulgence at 20 km and Chicoutimi at 21 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Limony

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean cover northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Lac Limony the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -18°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac Limony.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac a Pit sits 1.5 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Lac Limony is worth confirming on the day.
