Lac Moire, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits at 726 metres above sea level. At 3.08 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. The shoreline runs about 11 km, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. Few waters listed in Côte-Nord are bigger. Fermont is the closest town at 7.7 km. Further out sit Wabush (26 km) and Labrador City (27 km). It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Moire

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. Take Lac Moire a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -23°C in January up to 12°C in July. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late May. Climate figures give an open season running late May to late October. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Lac Moire follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac en Croissant sits 3.3 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Moire for certain.
