Deuxieme Lac in Côte-Nord: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Deuxieme Lac sits within Côte-Nord in Quebec. The coast is 1.5 km away. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Baie-Comeau lies 44 km from the water. It is 275 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. Others within reach: Lac du Pouvoir 0.7 km away, 1 km away is Petit lac a Foin, Lac Caburon 1 km away, 1.5 km away is Lac Jacques and Lac du Petit Camp 3.4 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Deuxieme Lac

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The near bank of Deuxieme Lac is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 16°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Anyone fishing Deuxieme Lac regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Lac du Pouvoir at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. The position on Deuxieme Lac is worth confirming on the day.
