Lac a l'Ours Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac a l'Ours is one of the Côte-Nord listings for Quebec. This is mixed forest ground. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. Nearest place of any size is Baie-Comeau, 54 km away.

The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac a l'Ours

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lac a l'Ours the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -14°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Lac a l'Ours follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lac Canard at 0.9 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lac a l'Ours locally before you travel.
