Lac de la Lime, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Côte-Nord end of Quebec holds Lac de la Lime. The country round it is spruce and muskeg from end to end. At 8 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Forestville is the closest town at 83 km. Further out sit Saint-Fulgence (89 km) and Saint-Honoré (92 km). No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Lime

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Lac de la Lime a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 16°C and January near -18°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Expect Lac de la Lime to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Topper at 0.8 km is the sensible second choice. Rules at Lac de la Lime are worth checking on the day.
