Hmmm…just checked it out…it’s a glacially carved valley at one time connected to the St Lawrence. Relatively small..
Cut and paste the name to google earth and add canada and it’ll take you to it…
Though totally consistent with the conditions in a lot of other post glacial lakes of the world…Loch Ness, Champlain, Okonagen, there are others, both biologically, hydro-atmospherically similar and don’t forget…the requisite human interpretation.

I think the description got confused in translation from French to English!! i.e., nice meaning amazing. Just a thought!

Well, this gentleman Leblanc’s description of the event leaves a lot to be desired. So we have a “big fish”, (which could be interpreted as a wide range of sizes), “swimming”, (as opposed to that other fish activity “water skiing”, I suppose), and it was very “nice”. If it was not for the mention of a wave (but again, this could be anything, there is no mention of it’s size or even why he thought a wave would be odd on a lake), this could have been a largemouth bass sighting. The report needs a good deal more detail in order to be of any real use in determining what the thing could be, in my opinion.

This is one lake creature I had never heard of, so I am interested to know what type of lake this is, if it is natural or artificial, whether it has a good connection with the sea, what kind of native aquatic life is prevalent there, etc. These kinds of details give a lot of much needed information when trying to determine what any given lake monster could feasibly be (unknown animal or otherwise).
