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

• Overview

  Lac Morey is a Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean water, Quebec side. Around the bank it is boreal forest. At 2 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean standards. The nearest town is Chibougamau, 94 km away. Normandin lies 99 km off, Albanel another 103 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Morey

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, recorded fish include northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and fallfish. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Read Lac Morey before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 16°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Lac Morey.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Lac Flers, 0.5 km out. Check the position on Lac Morey before loading the car.
