Lac Outarde Fishing near Saint-Honoré, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac Outarde, in Côte-Nord. The surface lies 486 metres up. At 3 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Côte-Nord. Saint-Honoré sits 84 km from the bank. Beyond it, Saint-Fulgence at 86 km and Saint-Ambroise at 94 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Outarde

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Lac Outarde for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -19°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. It holds true on Lac Outarde more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac du Sac at 1.1 km is the sensible second choice. Rules at Lac Outarde are worth checking on the day.
