Lac Sedillot Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Sedillot belongs to Côte-Nord, Quebec. The surface lies 313 metres up. Roughly 5.25 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. At about 14 km of edge, most people work one arm at a time. Size puts it in the front rank of our Côte-Nord list. Nearest place of any size is Chute-aux-Outardes, 69 km away. Further out sit Hauterive (72 km) and Betsiamites (73 km). The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Sedillot

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Public occurrence data for Côte-Nord names logperch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac Sedillot that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -18°C in January up to 16°C in July. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan any trip to Lac Sedillot around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Lac Rejean, 3.8 km out. For Lac Sedillot in particular, ask before you travel.
