Lac Rigolet, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Rigolet sits within Côte-Nord in Quebec. The bank is 484 metres above sea level. The water measures roughly 9 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. Start from Forestville, 60 km down the road. Saguenay sits 123 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Rigolet

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Lac Rigolet before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -18°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Lac Rigolet that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Lac Yvette is 1.5 km distant.
