A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Take Lac Alcidas a stretch at a time.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Navet at 0.9 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Lac Alcidas is worth confirming on the day.
