Lac Jimmy Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Jimmy in Côte-Nord, Quebec. Salt water lies 7.9 km off. This is a pocket water of some 7 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is a small entry by Côte-Nord standards. Nearest place of any size is Baie-Comeau, 21 km away. Hauterive is 28 km and Chute-aux-Outardes 42 km. Others worth noting: Lac des Iles about 1.4 km, Lac Roussy roughly 1.7 km, Lac Guylaine about 1.7 km, Lac Saint-Coeur roughly 2 km and Lac Carol about 2 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Jimmy

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The shape of Lac Jimmy decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -15°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Lac Jimmy the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac des Iles sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Jimmy for certain.
