Lac du Bois de Flambette Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Bois de Flambette stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The setting is spruce and muskeg on every side. It runs to roughly 12 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Bank access stretches around 2.0 km in total. Compared with other Quebec water on our list, it sits high. The town to know is Godefroy, 105 km out. Saguenay is the closest city, 326 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Bois de Flambette

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac du Bois de Flambette the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 14°C in July and bottom out at -21°C in January. This far north the hard season runs and runs. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid May. Averages suggest open water from about mid May through to roughly early November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Bois de Flambette.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac des Gelivures at 8.1 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Lac du Bois de Flambette.
