Lac du Naos in Côte-Nord: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Lac du Naos in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It lies 579 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 4 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. Forestville sits 82 km from the bank. After that come Saint-Fulgence at 96 km and Les Escoumins at 97 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Naos

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac du Naos that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -18°C in January. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Naos.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. 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. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac du Nabi sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Lac du Naos before loading the car.
