Saint-Alexandre follows at 20 km, then Sept-Îles at 29 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Deux Baies

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Treat Lac des Deux Baies as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -16°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. The season on Lac des Deux Baies follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Beau sits 1.2 km off and takes the overflow. What applies at Lac des Deux Baies may have changed since it was mapped.
