Lac Renouard, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Renouard stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The surface lies 455 metres up. This is sizeable water at about 5.51 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. You are looking at roughly 23 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. It ranks high for size among our Côte-Nord listings. You are 82 km from Chute-aux-Outardes. Betsiamites is 84 km away, with Hauterive at 86 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Renouard

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Treat Lac Renouard as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -19°C. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid May. The lid tends to go about mid May and return around mid November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Time your trip to Lac Renouard by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac Desportes sits 2.9 km off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Lac Renouard if anything is unclear.
