Lac des Midis de Mai, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac des Midis de Mai lies within the bounds of Côte-Nord, Quebec. The land about it is northern bush. Around 26 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Around 3.4 km of margin, front to back. Port-Cartier sits 37 km from the bank. Saint-Alexandre is 38 km and Sept-Îles 64 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Midis de Mai

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac des Midis de Mai the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 15°C and January near -17°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid May. The season between ice runs from about mid May to early November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac des Midis de Mai.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. 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. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Lac Vadoul, 1.6 km out. Confirm before you fish Lac des Midis de Mai.
