Lac Murray Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Murray is set in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits at 64 metres above sea level. With some 10 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. A shoreline of some 1.3 km keeps the choices simple. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. For a base, Baie-Comeau sits 16 km out. Hauterive follows at 24 km, then Chute-aux-Outardes at 38 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Murray

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of Lac Murray decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -14°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Lac Murray regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Montreuil at 0.9 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lac Murray carry more weight than any list.
