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

• Overview

  Lac Quievermon lies in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. It lies 332 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 12 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The edge runs 2.7 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. Chibougamau sits 84 km from here and is the nearest stop. Saguenay sits 208 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Quievermon

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Public occurrence data for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean names northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Lac Quievermon to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -19°C for January. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan around that when you fish Lac Quievermon.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. 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. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Lac Maubeuge, 1.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Lac Quievermon if anything is unclear.
