Lac Bahon, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within Côte-Nord, Quebec, you have Lac Bahon. The country round it is spruce and muskeg from end to end. About 4 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Côte-Nord list holds plenty of bigger water. For a base, Port-Cartier sits 46 km out. Saint-Alexandre lies 46 km off, Sept-Îles another 78 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Bahon

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Lac Bahon before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 15°C in July and bottom out at -17°C in January. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Anyone fishing Lac Bahon regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Vasse, 2.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
