Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Fish Lac a l'Aigle where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -18°C in January. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Atomique sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow. For Lac a l'Aigle, the notice at the access point is the final word.
