Lac de la Reconnaissance Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de la Reconnaissance falls in Côte-Nord, part of Quebec. Elevation runs to 643 metres. The water covers some 29 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. About 2.7 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Compared with other Quebec water on our list, it sits high. The town to know is Godefroy, 110 km out. The big place round here is Saguenay, 319 km distant. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Reconnaissance

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lac de la Reconnaissance the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 15°C in July and bottoms out near -21°C in January. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid May. The water is typically free of ice between mid May and early November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lac de la Reconnaissance runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. 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. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac des Inventaires sits 1.3 km off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Lac de la Reconnaissance.
