Fishing at Lac Lisigny, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Lisigny is a Côte-Nord water, in Quebec. The surface lies 103 metres up. Roughly 77 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The margin runs to about 9.9 km in total. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Head to Havre-Saint-Pierre, 31 km away, for anything you forgot. Gaspé is 199 km away, with Maliotenam at 204 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lisigny

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lac Lisigny the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 15°C and January reads -15°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac Lisigny runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Prevereault at 2.7 km is the sensible second choice. What applies at Lac Lisigny may have changed since it was mapped.
