Fishing Lac Sardun in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Sardun is a Côte-Nord water, Quebec side. Around the bank it is boreal forest. Around 18 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The whole outline is near 2.3 km, and most of it is walkable. 64 km away sits Baie-Comeau, the nearest town. Further out sit Saint-Alexandre (65 km) and Port-Cartier (66 km). The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sardun

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lac Sardun gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while January sits near -16°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Lac Sardun follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Lac Le Galbois is 5.2 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac Sardun.
