Lac Mayberry Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Mayberry is one of the Côte-Nord waters in Quebec. It stands 540 metres above sea level. With some 20 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Shoreline comes to about 4.6 km, small enough to learn in a day. It sits higher than most water we list in Quebec. The nearest town is Saint-Fulgence, 96 km away. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 106 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Mayberry

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Lac Mayberry light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -19°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid May. In an average year the thaw lands around mid May and the freeze near early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. It holds true on Lac Mayberry more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. 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. Sort the permit out before you load the car. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Lac Allen is 1.8 km off. For Lac Mayberry in particular, ask before you travel.
