Lac de Soubise in Côte-Nord: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  This water sits in Côte-Nord, Quebec. Elevation runs to 644 metres. This is a pocket water of some 3 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Most waters listed here for Côte-Nord are larger. Head to Port-Cartier, 100 km away, for anything you forgot. After that come Saint-Alexandre at 101 km and Sept-Îles at 111 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac de Soubise

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac de Soubise that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -20°C in January up to 14°C in July. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid May. The season between ice runs from about mid May to early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac de Soubise.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Courbonne at 1.6 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Lac de Soubise in what we hold.
