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

• Overview

  Troisieme Lac lies in Saguenay/Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. The water sits 295 metres up. Head to Chambord, 12 km away, for anything you forgot. Beyond it, Roberval at 14 km and Métabetchouan at 14 km. Not far off: Deuxieme Lac within 1.3 km, Lac aux Foins at 3.5 km, Lac Verreau within 3.7 km, Lac a Truite at 4.4 km and Lac du Dos d'Ane within 4.9 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Troisieme Lac

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. 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, lake whitefish and fallfish among the fish reported. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Troisieme Lac before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 17°C; the cold one sits at -17°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Time your trip to Troisieme Lac by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Deuxieme Lac at 1.3 km is the sensible second choice. Where Troisieme Lac is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
