Lac des Quatre Sommets Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac des Quatre Sommets falls inside Côte-Nord. The coast is 35 km away. The water measures roughly 6 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. Nearest town is Port-Cartier, 38 km off. Then Saint-Alexandre, 38 km, and Sept-Îles, 69 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Quatre Sommets

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Work Lac des Quatre Sommets in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -17°C in January. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Lac des Quatre Sommets rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Deken sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow.
