Fishing Lac Amedee in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Amedee in Côte-Nord, Quebec. Northern bush runs right down to the water. About 1.78 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. At about 14 km of edge, most people work one arm at a time. Few waters listed in Côte-Nord are bigger. The town to know is Hauterive, 9.3 km out. Baie-Comeau lies 14 km off, Chute-aux-Outardes another 18 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Amedee

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Take Lac Amedee a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -15°C in January up to 16°C in July. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That shapes the year on Lac Amedee.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Lac Marcel at 1.8 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Lac Amedee before loading the car.
