Lac du Nourrain Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac du Nourrain in the Côte-Nord part of Quebec. The bank gives way to boreal forest. Small at around 7 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Nourrain

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Lac du Nourrain a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -19°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect Lac du Nourrain to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Lac de l'Omble is 0.7 km distant. Rules at Lac du Nourrain are worth checking on the day.
