Lac des Trois Pointes Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac des Trois Pointes falls in Côte-Nord, part of Quebec. The shore lies 9.4 km out. With some 48 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The full circuit measures close to 3.3 km on foot. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. Nearest town is Baie-Comeau, 15 km off. It is 237 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Trois Pointes

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Read Lac des Trois Pointes for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -15°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Lac des Trois Pointes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Don, 1.8 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Lac des Trois Pointes is worth confirming on the day.
