Lac Lawrence Fishing near Baie-Comeau, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Lawrence in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The land about it is mixed forest. At 5 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Côte-Nord standards. For a base, Baie-Comeau sits 66 km out. Saguenay sits 297 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Not far off: Lac Arthur at 0.8 km, Lac Botte out at 0.9 km, Lac Genest at 0.9 km, Lac Charles out at 2 km and Lac Violon at 2 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lawrence

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Lac Lawrence a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -14°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Lac Lawrence fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. 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. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Lac Arthur, 0.8 km out. Treat access at Lac Lawrence as something to verify.
