It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Nadi

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The near bank of Lac Nadi is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -18°C in January up to 16°C in July. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. On Lac Nadi the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac du Tutu sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lac Nadi are worth checking on the day.
