Lac Midas near Saint-Alexandre: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Midas lies in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The coast is 16 km away. At 5 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Côte-Nord standards. Saint-Alexandre is the closest place, 33 km off. Saguenay is the closest city, 321 km away. Also on the doorstep: Lac Fogh lies 0.4 km on, Lac Colin 0.9 km off, Lac Emery lies 1 km on, Lac Jones 1.3 km off and Lac Lamb lies 1.8 km on. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Midas

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Lac Midas rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 16°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. On Lac Midas that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Lac Fogh at 0.4 km is the nearest alternative. Treat Lac Midas as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
