Overcast skies today, with a kind SW breeze on the water with the barometer flat. The water to cover at Lac Dimel is bays that hold the day's warmth. If you must go, go in the evening. Save the long walk for a better forecast. Cooling water has fish active and on the move.

Lac Dimel is set in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The ground round it is boreal forest. It covers about 3 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. On size it sits at the modest end of our Côte-Nord list. You are 45 km from Port-Cartier. It is 320 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.
We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Treat Lac Dimel as a water to read rather than to cover.
Long-run averages give July about 15°C and January about -17°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Lac Dimel runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Lac Canous is 0.2 km distant. Ask locally about Lac Dimel if anything is unclear.
