Lac de laSource Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac de laSource is one of the Côte-Nord listings for Quebec. Height above sea level is 656 metres. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Quebec listings. For a base, Labrador City sits 221 km out. Wabush follows at 227 km, then Fermont at 237 km. Others worth noting: Lac Icecold within 1 km, Lac Guillaume a touch under 5.3 km, Lac Lilois within 7.2 km, Rosemary Lake a touch under 7.3 km and Lac a la Truite within 8.8 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac de laSource

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read Lac de laSource for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -24°C and July at about 12°C, the water has a wide range to work through. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Winter locks it down, and early June brings it back. Climate averages put the opening at about early June and the closing near late October. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac de laSource.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Icecold, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Lac de laSource is worth confirming on the day.
