Fishing at Lac des Mors, Côte-Nord, Quebec

Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Mors

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. Lac des Mors gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 15°C, with January the cold end at about -20°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid May. The open-water window runs from around mid May to about early November in an average year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Lac des Mors.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac des Mulls sits 1.8 km off and takes the overflow.
