Lac du Pro-Maire Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac du Pro-Maire in the Côte-Nord part of Quebec. It lies 567 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 5 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Côte-Nord standards. The town to know is Port-Cartier, 97 km out. For a city, Saguenay is 377 km off. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Pro-Maire

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Lac du Pro-Maire rewards a slow walk along one bank.

  Typical July readings run about 14°C; by January the average is down near -20°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid May.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Fernande, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
