Lac de la Jale, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac de la Jale, in Côte-Nord. It sits at 164 metres above sea level. Small at around 3 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. For supplies, Betsiamites is 29 km out. Further out sit Forestville (38 km) and Chute-aux-Outardes (43 km). No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Jale

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Read Lac de la Jale before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 17°C and January near -15°C on the long-run figures. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Time your trip to Lac de la Jale by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Pierson, 4.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Lac de la Jale if anything is unclear.
