Fresh rain topping the water up today, with a gentle ripple from the SSW and the barometer holding steady. Give the weed line and any gaps in it the first hour at Lac Pat. The forecast is against you; the middle of the day is the least bad option. Short, focused sessions beat a long grind today.

Lac Pat stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. Country round the bank runs to boreal forest. This is a pocket water of some 4 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is a small entry by Côte-Nord standards. The nearest town is Baie-Comeau, 49 km away. Saguenay sits 265 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.
Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. At Lac Pat the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.
The seasonal spread runs -17°C to 16°C. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Lac Pat rarely departs from it.
Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no 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. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Lac Dion, 1 km away. Nothing on Lac Pat should be assumed from this page alone.
