Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:52 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Québec

Québec fishing is defined by diversity: sprawling reservoirs like Gouin and Manicouagan, classic walleye and pike lakes across the Laurentians and Abitibi, wild northern outpost lakes in Nunavik, and the legendary St. Lawrence River corridor from Montréal to Gaspésie. The key to success is matching your tactics to each region’s structure, water clarity, and seasonal timing.

In spring, immediately after ice-out, focus on shallow, warming bays and inflows. Pike slide into flooded shorelines, creek mouths, and back bays; casting suspending jerkbaits, white spinnerbaits, or 4–6 inch soft plastics slowly over emerging weeds is highly effective. On tannin-stained shield lakes, walleye stack in 6–15 ft near current, rocky points, and narrows—vertical jigging 1/4–3/8 oz jigs tipped with minnows or soft plastics is the staple pattern.

As water warms into early summer, walleye in reservoirs and larger lakes shift to mid-lake humps, saddles, and deeper points in 15–30 ft. Use bottom-bouncers with worm harnesses on long contours, or slowly troll deep-diving crankbaits that occasionally tick bottom. On the St. Lawrence and major rivers, drifting jigs or live-bait rigs along edges of shipping channels, rock bars, and shoals consistently produces both walleye and sauger.

Smallmouth bass fishing peaks from late spring through summer in clear lakes of the Laurentians, Outaouais, and Eastern Townships, as well as along rocky stretches of the St. Lawrence. Target rocky shoals, island points, and boulder shorelines with tube jigs, Ned rigs, and 3–4 inch swimbaits. On calm mornings, topwaters such as walking baits and poppers shine over shallow rock and weed edges. In stained backwaters, largemouth relate more to wood, docks, and thick vegetation—flip jigs, pitch Texas-rigged plastics, or work frogs over matted weeds.

Québec’s cold, deep lakes hold excellent lake trout. In spring, troll shallow flats and shoreline breaks with spoons and minnowbaits. As summer progresses, shift to downriggers or lead-core lines to probe 40–90 ft over basins and along sharp breaks. Watch sonar closely for suspended bait schools; lake trout often position just below them.

Salmonids are a major draw, especially brook trout and Atlantic salmon in Côte-Nord, Saguenay, Gaspésie, and northern regions. Brook trout favor cool, well-oxygenated streams and small lakes; stealth, light leaders, and precise presentations with small spinners, spoons, or nymphs in current seams and plunge pools are critical. On salmon rivers, productive lies include the heads and tails of pools, boulder-studded runs, and soft edges. Swing classic hairwing or modern tube flies across the current, making incremental step-down passes to systematically cover water.

Hardwater season is huge in Québec. On many shield lakes, anglers target walleye, perch, and pike with tip-ups and jigging rods. Set dead baits slightly above bottom for pike at weedlines or drop-offs, and jig spoons or rattling lures for aggressive fish cruising saddles and points. For winter walleye, focus on evening and low-light windows on 15–25 ft flats and breaks adjacent to deeper basins.

Across the province, success comes from reading structure and using mobile tactics. Bring quality electronics, vary your depths and speeds until you dial in a pattern, and be prepared with a mix of finesse jigs, reliable trolling presentations, and power-fishing options to cover Québec’s vast and varied waters efficiently.

The Best Fishing Spots around Québec

Saint Lawrence River

Running through Montréal and Québec City, the Saint Lawrence River offers year-round action: spring walleye and northern pike in shallows and tributary mouths, summer smallmouth bass on rocky structure and current seams, and fall trophies for pike and muskellunge in weedy bays and channel edges; the estuarine reaches also see seasonal striped bass pushes. Shore access is abundant in urban stretches, while boats unlock expansive shoals, islands, and drop-offs; nearby hotspots include Lac Saint-Pierre and the Lachine Rapids.

Lac Saint-Pierre

A broad widening of the Saint Lawrence, Lac Saint-Pierre is famed for prolific walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch, with extensive weedbeds, flats, and channels that fish well from ice-out through fall; summer brings strong smallmouth bass bites on reefs and current breaks. Shore fishing is possible around public accesses and marsh edges, while boats reach the productive archipelago and deep cuts; it pairs well with nearby Saint Lawrence River stretches for variety.

Baie des Chaleurs

Straddling the Gaspésie, Baie des Chaleurs is a go-to for summer Atlantic mackerel blitzes and surging runs of striped bass along beaches, points, and river mouths; dawn and dusk tides can be electric from wharfs and surf. Boat anglers work rips and bait schools, while shore anglers score at accessible piers and sandbars; it’s a natural complement to nearby Baie de Gaspé and salmon rivers like the Rivière Bonaventure.

Baie de Gaspé

Sheltered by dramatic headlands, the Baie de Gaspé offers reliable summer mackerel schools, frequent striped bass along shoals and beaches, and occasional sea-run trout near river mouths; tides and bait movements drive fast action. Wharfs and beaches provide easy shore access, while boats work rips, channels, and bird activity; anglers often pair it with nearby Baie des Chaleurs and coastal points like Percé.

Baie des Ha! Ha!

At the head of the Saguenay Fjord, the Baie des Ha! Ha! mixes brackish and marine influences, famous for winter smelt shacks on the ice and open-water seasons that see cod-like groundfish (when present) and schooling baitfish attracting predators; structure-rich depths meet accessible shoreline. Shore and pier options in La Baie are popular, while boats explore fjord drop-offs; it complements nearby Saguenay River sections toward Tadoussac.

Lac Saint-Jean

Expansive and windswept, Lac Saint-Jean is renowned for its native ouananiche (landlocked Atlantic salmon), strong walleye and northern pike populations, and summer lake trout in deeper basins; points, reefs, and river deltas shine from late spring through fall. Shore fishing is possible at parks and river mouths, while boats target offshore structure; anglers often connect it with tributaries feeding the Saguenay River.

Lac Memphrémagog

Stretching between Québec and Vermont, Lac Memphrémagog produces quality lake trout, landlocked salmon, and smallmouth bass, with spring shoreline bites and summer offshore trolling over humps and breaks; weedlines and rocky points also hold northern pike. Shore anglers use parks and piers around Magog, while boats unlock long structure lines; it’s a fine counterpart to nearby Lac Massawippi and the Rivière Magog.

Rivière Jacques-Cartier

Clear and fast, the Rivière Jacques-Cartier near Québec City is prized for wild brook trout, seasonal Atlantic salmon runs in certain sectors, and cool-water summer trout fishing in riffles and pools; spring and early summer wading are especially productive. Shoreline pull-offs and park access make it approachable, while small boats or canoes reach deeper pools; anglers often pair it with the Montmorency River or urban stretches of the Saint Lawrence River.

Rivière des Mille Îles

Flowing along Montréal’s North Shore, the Rivière des Mille Îles features gentle current, islands, and weedlines that hold largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, and muskellunge; spring and early summer shine around marsh edges, with consistent summer topwater action on calm mornings. Shore parks and launches enable easy access, while kayaks and boats probe channels and backwaters; it connects naturally to the Rivière des Prairies and Saint Lawrence River.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 1 wharf(s) in this area.

Commissioners Wharf (historical) - 1.52000378865km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 2 beaches and bays in this area.

Baie De Beauport - 3.12365465207km , Plage Gagnon - 9.83721188771km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 1 main harbours in this area.
