Lac du Pot Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Pot sits within Côte-Nord in Quebec. It stands 508 metres above sea level. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. For a base, Forestville sits 78 km out. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 107 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Pot

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name logperch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Treat Lac du Pot as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -18°C. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lac du Pot runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac de la Nacre sits 1.2 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Lac du Pot is worth confirming on the day.
