Fishing at Lac Grognon, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Grognon stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The bank is 343 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 5 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. For supplies, Port-Cartier is 32 km out. Further out sit Sept-Îles (32 km) and Saint-Alexandre (33 km). The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Grognon

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lac Grognon the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 15°C and January near -17°C on the long-run figures. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid May and starts locking again about mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Lac Grognon rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac Virgule sits 1.2 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Lac Grognon as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
