Lac Remi Fishing near Labrecque, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. It sits at 183 metres above sea level. The water covers some 14 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The full circuit measures close to 2.2 km on foot. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. The closest town, Labrecque, is 14 km away. The big place round here is Saguenay, 49 km distant. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Remi

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, recorded fish include northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Fish Lac Remi to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -18°C to 17°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. At Lac Remi the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac a Mariette at 3.2 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Lac Remi in what we hold.
