Fishing Lac Serge in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Serge is a Côte-Nord water, in Quebec. Tidal water begins 17 km from here. It measures about 55 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. A shoreline of some 4.5 km keeps the choices simple. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Start from Havre-Saint-Pierre, 95 km down the road. For a city, Sydney is 428 km off. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Serge

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. County-wide records name logperch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The near bank of Lac Serge is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -13°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Anyone fishing Lac Serge regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Records show it does not hold water year-round. 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. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Etang Raymond is 2.7 km distant. Confirm before you fish Lac Serge.
