Fishing Lac Lis in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

• Where to Fish on Lac Lis

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Lac Lis should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -19°C in January. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid May. The lid tends to go about mid May and return around mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Expect Lac Lis to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Lac Foc at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Lac Lis.
