Labrador City is 331 km and Wabush 337 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Plouart

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Lac Plouart the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 11°C in July and bottom out at -25°C in January. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early June. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early June and starts locking again about late October. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. The season on Lac Plouart follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Cramolet sits 6.9 km off and takes the overflow. For Lac Plouart in particular, ask before you travel.
