Lac Perry Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Perry in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The country here is boreal forest. At about 15 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. With about 1.9 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Some 57 km away sits Port-Cartier, the nearest settlement. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 299 km away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Perry

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Treat Lac Perry as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 15°C in July and bottom out at -17°C in January. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Once it clears, about mid May, the fishing comes on quickly. Open water usually runs from mid May until about early November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan any trip to Lac Perry around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Lac Mason, 1.3 km out. None of that is settled for Lac Perry in what we hold.
