Lac Rejean Fishing near Chute-aux-Outardes, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Côte-Nord, Quebec, this is Lac Rejean. It lies 327 metres above sea level. It measures about 28 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With about 3.3 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. For a base, Chute-aux-Outardes sits 70 km out. The big place round here is Saguenay, 192 km distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Rejean

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At Lac Rejean the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 16°C and January reads -18°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on Lac Rejean.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Petit lac Wabush at 3.7 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Lac Rejean is worth confirming on the day.
