Lac Noir Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Noir stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The country round it is lake country bush from end to end. This is a pocket water of some 6 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Côte-Nord list holds plenty of bigger water. The closest town, Saint-Alexandre, is 39 km distant. For a city, Saguenay is 317 km off. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Noir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac Noir fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -15°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Anyone fishing Lac Noir regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. 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. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac de la Maree, 0.5 km away. Confirm before you fish Lac Noir.
