• Overview

  Look for Lac du Tatou in Côte-Nord, Quebec. Beyond the shoreline you have taiga. The water covers around 1.78 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank.

The big place round here is Saguenay, 101 km distant. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Tatou

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Anyone new to Lac du Tatou should walk it once before setting up.
