• Where to Fish on Lac Grant

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The near bank of Lac Grant is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -15°C in January and 16°C in July. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Expect Lac Grant to follow that timing.
