Lac Fequet Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Fequet in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It stands 650 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 2 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Côte-Nord standards. Nearest town is Port-Cartier, 98 km off. It is 378 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Fequet

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Lac Fequet the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -20°C to 14°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. After mid May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Break-up sits around mid May on average, with the water closing again about early November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Lac Fequet that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Lac des Six Cents Printemps at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Lac Fequet before loading the car.
