Fishing at Lac des Mulls, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Where to Fish on Lac des Mulls

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Lac des Mulls where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 15°C; by January the average is down near -21°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid May. In an average year the thaw lands around mid May and the freeze near early November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. At Lac des Mulls the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Lac des Spores, 1.1 km away. Confirm before you fish Lac des Mulls.
