Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Lac Jacques light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Tackle & Baits

For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not.
