  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac Boulder the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -23°C in January up to 13°C in July. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Look for the thaw near late May; the fishing lifts straight after. The lid tends to go about late May and return around late October. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Lac Boulder follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Lawrence, 2.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
