Lac Morillon, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Morillon is a Côte-Nord water, in Quebec. It sits 9.6 km in from the sea. The water measures roughly 2 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Côte-Nord list. Baie-Comeau sits 59 km from here and is the nearest stop. Further out sit Cap-Chat (64 km) and Hauterive (67 km). Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Morillon

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Lac Morillon rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -14°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Time your trip to Lac Morillon by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Lac Harris at 0.2 km is the nearest alternative.
