Lac Aubin Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  The Côte-Nord end of Quebec holds Lac Aubin. It sits in taiga. Surface area runs to some 11.00 sq km, so a boat and a plan are both worth having. Size puts it in the front rank of our Côte-Nord list. Labrador City lies 275 km from the water. Further out sit Wabush (280 km) and Fermont (293 km). Near neighbours: Lac Gosling just 2.2 km, Lac Gustafson roughly 3.5 km, Lac Goose just 3.6 km, Lac Simonet roughly 7.4 km and Lac Leslie just 7.5 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Aubin

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. Lac Aubin gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -25°C to 11°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early June. Break-up sits around early June on average, with the water closing again about late October. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. That is the shape of the year on Lac Aubin.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Lac Gosling is 2.2 km off. Nothing on Lac Aubin should be assumed from this page alone.
