Lac Quenouille, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Quenouille lies within the bounds of Côte-Nord, Quebec. The surface lies 474 metres up. Around 63 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The bank runs about 3.6 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Nearest town is Forestville, 59 km off. Betsiamites is 62 km away, with Chute-aux-Outardes at 73 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Quenouille

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Read Lac Quenouille before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -18°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Anyone fishing Lac Quenouille regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Lac Courvoisier is 1.2 km off. Confirm access to Lac Quenouille locally before you travel.
