Lac du Marsouin Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Marsouin stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. Height above sea level is 502 metres. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Côte-Nord list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, Saint-Honoré is 83 km out. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 93 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Marsouin

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Lac du Marsouin the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -19°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Marsouin.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac de l'Ocelot, 0.9 km away. Treat access at Lac du Marsouin as something to verify.
