Regulation zone: Quebec Zone 9 / 15 area — Lac Archambault, Saint-Donat (Lanaudiere); confirm the exact zone boundary on the interactive zone map

Season: Quebec has 29 fishing zones, each with its own periods and quotas. In most zones the winter period runs Dec 20 to Mar 31, and fishing through ice requires continuous ice at least 10 cm thick where the zone rule states it. Check the zone page for lake trout and landlocked salmon minimums. Always check this lake's zone page for waterbody exceptions before fishing.

Limits: Catch limits and length limits vary by zone and waterbody — e.g. walleye slot is 37-53 cm in Zone 6 and 32-47 cm in many northern zones, lake trout minimums vary by zone. Use the official zone table for this lake; do not rely on a neighbouring zone's numbers.

Licence: Quebec sport fishing licence required (resident / non-resident classes), plus a government photo ID. Additional access rights / fees can apply in a ZEC, wildlife reserve or outfitter territory.
