There is roughly 3.9 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Some 135 km away sits Godefroy, the nearest settlement. Saguenay is the closest city, 293 km away.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lemieux

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The near bank of Lac Lemieux is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 14°C; the cold one sits at -21°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Ice-out usually falls in mid May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Climate figures give an open season running mid May to early November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Lac Lemieux rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Sapin at 1.9 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lac Lemieux carry more weight than any list.
