Rain on and off through the day, with the water lying quiet and pressure going nowhere. On Lac Boyer, work the margins and the shelf beyond them first. Numbers are low everywhere; the middle of the day is the pick of them. Take the small wins and call it early if it dies. Cooling water has fish active and on the move.

You will find Lac Boyer in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits at 489 metres above sea level. It covers about 3 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. On size it sits at the modest end of our Côte-Nord list. The nearest town is Forestville, 55 km away. Betsiamites lies 64 km off, Chute-aux-Outardes another 77 km. This one is safely inside the county line.
Depth figures are not published for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Lac Boyer the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.
The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -18°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on Lac Boyer.
Access is not recorded for this water. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Reine at 1.4 km is the sensible second choice. What applies at Lac Boyer may have changed since it was mapped.
