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

• Overview

  The Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean end of Quebec holds Lac Treuil. It sits at 450 metres above sea level. It covers about 8 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Saint-Honoré sits 110 km from here and is the nearest stop. Saguenay is the closest city, 121 km away. If this one is busy: Lac de l'Abus within 0.9 km, Lac Bourglouis roughly 1.5 km, Lac Ephemere within 1.5 km, Lac Butor roughly 3.4 km and Lac Embryon within 3.7 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Treuil

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean records list northern pike, Atlantic salmon and lake whitefish among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lac Treuil the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -19°C and July at about 15°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid May. The water is typically free of ice between mid May and mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. At Lac Treuil the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac de l'Abus sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac Treuil should be assumed from this page alone.
