Etang Gregoire is one of the Côte-Nord listings for Quebec. The sea is 26 km distant. At about 48 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. About 2.8 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. Nearest place of any size is Havre-Saint-Pierre, 99 km away. For a city, Sydney is 423 km off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.
There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Etang Gregoire fishes better once you know its edges.
Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -13°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan any trip to Etang Gregoire around it.
Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Lac Letourneau at 2.9 km is the nearest alternative. For Etang Gregoire in particular, ask before you travel.
