Fishing Lac de la Mouche Noyee in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Mouche Noyee is one of the Côte-Nord waters in Quebec. The surroundings are taiga. At about 21 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly.

Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Mouche Noyee

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The near bank of Lac de la Mouche Noyee is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -21°C in January up to 14°C in July. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. The lid usually goes in mid May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid May and starts locking again about early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan any trip to Lac de la Mouche Noyee around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac de la Bombette at 0.5 km is the sensible second choice. Treat Lac de la Mouche Noyee as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
