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

• Where to Fish on Lac Moos

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean include 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. At Lac Moos light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -19°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Moos.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac des Bonbons at 1.2 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Lac Moos in what we hold.
