Lac Eddy Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits at 526 metres above sea level. With some 26 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Around 3.6 km of margin, front to back. Compared with other Quebec water on our list, it sits high. Head to Godefroy, 125 km away, for anything you forgot. Port-Cartier is 159 km and Saint-Alexandre 159 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Eddy

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At Lac Eddy light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 14°C and January near -21°C on the long-run figures. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Once it clears, about mid May, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages place the thaw at mid May and the freeze at early November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. That shapes the year on Lac Eddy.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Lac Liotard is 3 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Eddy for certain.
