Lac Charlotte Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits at 532 metres above sea level. Roughly 18 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The whole outline is near 2.2 km, and most of it is walkable. It is high ground by Quebec standards. Godefroy at 128 km is the nearest place to stop. Beyond it, Port-Cartier at 154 km and Saint-Alexandre at 154 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Charlotte

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Lac Charlotte light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 14°C in July and bottoms out near -21°C in January. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid May. The water is typically free of ice between mid May and early November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That is the shape of the year on Lac Charlotte.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac Lisette is 0.9 km distant. Signs at Lac Charlotte carry more weight than any list.
