Lac Concombre, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Côte-Nord, Quebec, is where Lac Concombre sits. It sits at 495 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 15 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The full circuit measures close to 2.0 km on foot. For a base, Forestville sits 86 km out. For a city, Saguenay is 108 km off. Near neighbours include: Lac Faucille 0.6 km off, Lac du Pollen 1 km away, Lac Guylene 1.6 km off, Lac Rac 1.9 km away and Lac de la Mie 2.7 km off. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Concombre

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The shape of Lac Concombre decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -18°C for January. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Time your trip to Lac Concombre by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Lac Faucille, 0.6 km away. For Lac Concombre, the notice at the access point is the final word.
