Fishing Lac Coco in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Coco sits in Côte-Nord, out in Quebec. Height above sea level is 455 metres. Surface area runs to about 4 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Our Côte-Nord list holds plenty of bigger water. Forestville lies 126 km from the water. Saguenay is the closest city, 147 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Coco

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Lac Coco for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -19°C. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Look for the thaw near mid May; the fishing lifts straight after. Averages suggest open water from about mid May through to roughly mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. It holds true on Lac Coco more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Cocotte, 0.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Lac Coco may have changed since it was mapped.
