Lac des Tetras in Côte-Nord: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Out in Côte-Nord, Quebec, sits Lac des Tetras. Height above sea level is 158 metres. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Baie-Comeau sits 61 km from the bank. After that come Cap-Chat at 63 km and Matane at 69 km. What else is close: Lac Pat near enough 0.3 km, Lac Job a shade over 0.4 km, Lac du Loup near enough 0.6 km, Lac Brodeur a shade over 1 km and Lac Baptiste near enough 1 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Tetras

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Lac des Tetras light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -14°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Open water usually runs from early May until about late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Expect Lac des Tetras to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Pat at 0.3 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lac des Tetras.
