Lac du Tremble, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within Côte-Nord, Quebec, you have Lac du Tremble. Tidal water begins 39 km from here. Around 14 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The edge runs 1.5 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. You are 42 km from Forestville. Saguenay sits 149 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Tremble

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lac du Tremble gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -17°C on the long-run figures. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Lac du Tremble runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Lac du Merle is 1 km off. Where Lac du Tremble is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
