Fishing at Lac Celine, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Celine in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits at 152 metres above sea level. It is low-lying compared with other Quebec water we list.

Alternatives close at hand: Lac Albert after 1.6 km, Lac Cote at about 1.8 km, Lac Lemay after 1.8 km, Lac Alban at about 2.1 km and Lac Ovila after 2.4 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Celine

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Lac Celine light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -16°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac Celine runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Lac Albert is 1.6 km off. Nothing on Lac Celine should be assumed from this page alone.
