Lac Pesetone Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Pesetone is listed under Côte-Nord, Quebec. It lies 233 metres above sea level. At some 2.98 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. Shoreline length is close to 22 km, and each section fishes a little differently. It is among the larger waters listed here for Côte-Nord. Start from Baie-Comeau, 59 km down the road. The big place round here is Saguenay, 265 km distant. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pesetone

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Lac Pesetone light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -17°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Lac Pesetone.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Roger, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Pesetone for certain.
