Lac Lucie Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Côte-Nord, Quebec, is where Lac Lucie sits. The water sits 398 metres up. With some 26 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. With about 2.2 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. 85 km away sits Chute-aux-Outardes, the nearest town. Hauterive is 86 km away, with Baie-Comeau at 91 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lucie

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. 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. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lac Lucie responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -19°C. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid May. The water is typically free of ice between mid May and early November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Lac Lucie that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Lac Bigaouette is 1 km distant. Check the current arrangement for Lac Lucie.
