Fishing Lac Roger in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Roger in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The bank is 602 metres above sea level. The water covers some 16 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. About 1.9 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Quebec listings. For supplies, Saint-Honoré is 105 km out. For a city, Saguenay is 116 km off. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Roger

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lac Roger the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 15°C, with January the cold end at about -19°C. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Once it clears, about mid May, the fishing comes on quickly. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid May in spring and again near early November in autumn. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That is the shape of the year on Lac Roger.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Lac Serge, 0.7 km out. The position on Lac Roger is worth confirming on the day.
