Lac Augrin, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Côte-Nord in Quebec is where Lac Augrin sits. It sits in boreal forest. The water covers some 95 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. There is roughly 7.7 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Quebec listings. Saint-Honoré is the closest place, 100 km off. Saint-Fulgence lies 102 km off, Saint-Ambroise another 107 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Augrin

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Fish Lac Augrin where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 16°C at the top of summer and -19°C at the bottom of winter. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Lac Augrin fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Lac Robert is 2.9 km off.
