• Where to Fish on Lac Redmond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Treat Lac Redmond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -15°C on the long-run figures. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan any trip to Lac Redmond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. 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. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Lac Roussy, 1.6 km out. Rules at Lac Redmond are worth checking on the day.
