Lac Nasser Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Côte-Nord, Quebec, is where Lac Nasser sits. It sits in northern bush. Surface area is around 40 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The edge covers about 5.1 km, enough to hold several distinct areas. Start from Saint-Alexandre, 46 km down the road. Saguenay is the closest city, 312 km away. Not far off: Lac Petit at about 1.4 km, Lac Vital (2.5 km), Lac des Sept Iles at about 2.6 km, Lac Guillaume (2.7 km) and Lac Francis at about 2.8 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Nasser

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Lac Nasser decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -16°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Lac Nasser the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lac Petit, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Lac Nasser in what we hold.
