Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
Cooler October temps in La Malbaie have rivers running clear to slightly stained, with water around 6–10°C. The Malbaie River is giving up brook trout and the odd late-run Atlantic salmon in deeper pools; nearby lakes still hold cooperative lake trout tight to drop-offs. Expect fish to feed during early morning and last light, especially after light rain bumps flows.
On the river, swing small streamers (olive/black) or drift nymphs and egg patterns through tailouts; size 0–2 spinners and slim spoons in copper or silver work when visibility is good. In lakes, slow-troll shallow-running minnows or jig 1/4–3/8 oz tubes over 20–40 ft structure. Watch the tide influence near the river mouth—flood tide can spark short feeding windows for trout nosing in bait.
Winds can be brisk; a steady north or northeast breeze cools surface layers, pushing fish slightly deeper by midday. Water is low and clear between rains, so long leaders and natural tones help.
Top tip: After a rain pulse, target the first two hours of falling light and focus on seam lines just below fresh inflows—fish often stack there to intercept dislodged food.
