• Overview

After that come Hauterive at 50 km and Matane at 61 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pierre

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. County-wide records name logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Lac Pierre for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -14°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near late November in autumn. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. It holds true on Lac Pierre more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Petit lac Marlene at 1.3 km is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Lac Pierre if anything is unclear.
