Lac Bis Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Côte-Nord, Lac Bis is a Quebec water. What surrounds it is boreal forest. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. Our Côte-Nord list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, Saint-Honoré is 122 km out. Saguenay sits 133 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Bis

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Anyone new to Lac Bis should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -19°C in January up to 15°C in July. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid May. The lid tends to go about mid May and return around early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Lac Bis follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. 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 Tina at 0.3 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Lac Bis if anything is unclear.
