Lac Aline Fishing near Maliotenam, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Aline in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits 21 km in from the sea. The water covers around 1.39 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. The outline measures near 14 km, so local knowledge counts. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Maliotenam is the closest town at 31 km. Further out sit Sept-Îles (39 km) and Port-Cartier (76 km). It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Aline

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Aline the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 15°C and January about -17°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It holds true on Lac Aline more years than not.

• 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. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac Tellier sits 7.4 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Lac Aline as something to verify.
