No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Auguste

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac Auguste the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -14°C. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. That is the shape of the year on Lac Auguste.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Lac du Cure is 1 km off. Nothing on Lac Auguste should be assumed from this page alone.
