Lac a Pit-Dion near Port-Cartier: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac a Pit-Dion sits within Côte-Nord in Quebec. Height above sea level is 385 metres. It runs to roughly 26 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The bank runs about 3.0 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Head to Port-Cartier, 24 km away, for anything you forgot. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 337 km away. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac a Pit-Dion

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Fish Lac a Pit-Dion to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -17°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Anyone fishing Lac a Pit-Dion regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Lac Collerot at 1.4 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Lac a Pit-Dion are worth checking on the day.
