Lac des Percees Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac des Percees in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The country round it is northern bush from end to end. Head to Forestville, 101 km away, for anything you forgot. It is 161 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. Close by you have: Lac de la Mangerite within 13 km, Lac du Grand Couac near enough 14 km, Lac au Brochet within 14 km, Lac Denyse near enough 17 km and Lac Ginette within 17 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Percees

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Lac des Percees rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -19°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. At Lac des Percees the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Lac de la Mangerite is 13 km off. None of that is settled for Lac des Percees in what we hold.
