Lac Grant in Côte-Nord: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Set in Côte-Nord, Quebec, this is Lac Grant. It sits at 158 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to about 9 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Around 2.6 km of margin, front to back. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. The closest town, Port-Cartier, is 19 km away. Saguenay is the closest city, 339 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Grant

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Read Lac Grant before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -16°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Anyone fishing Lac Grant regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Lac Parent is 0.9 km off. The position on Lac Grant is worth confirming on the day.
