Lac Eloigne Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  The Côte-Nord entry here is Lac Eloigne, in Quebec. Height above sea level is 378 metres. Surface area is around 26 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. A shoreline of some 2.9 km keeps the choices simple. For supplies, Hauterive is 90 km out. The big place round here is Saguenay, 209 km distant. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Eloigne

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Eloigne that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -19°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Break-up comes around mid May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Ice usually gives way near mid May, and forms again about mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan around that when you fish Lac Eloigne.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Lac Nouveau, 1.5 km away. Check the position at Lac Eloigne before loading the car.
