Lac Ted Fishing Guide, Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec

• Overview

  Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean in Quebec is where Lac Ted sits. What surrounds it is spruce and muskeg. Surface area runs to about 3 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Most waters listed here for Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean are larger. The closest town, Saint-Félicien, is 40 km distant. Saint-Prime is 45 km away, with Normandin at 49 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Ted

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. 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. County-wide records name 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. Lac Ted repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan around that when you fish Lac Ted.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Roland sits 0.8 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Lac Ted before loading the car.
