• Where to Fish on Lac de la Falaise de Roches

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Lac de la Falaise de Roches the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 14°C, while January sits near -20°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice-out usually falls in mid May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice usually gives way near mid May, and forms again about early November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Anyone fishing Lac de la Falaise de Roches regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Lac Linda, 1.3 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Lac de la Falaise de Roches for certain.
