• Overview

  Lac Split Ouest lies within the bounds of Côte-Nord, Quebec. Height above sea level is 651 metres. This is sizeable water at about 5.11 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. Around 28 km of margin, so directions matter more than a general plan. On our Côte-Nord list it sits near the top for size. The town to know is Godefroy, 61 km out. Fermont follows at 89 km, then Wabush at 108 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Split Ouest

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Split Ouest gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 13°C for July and -22°C for January. This far north the hard season runs and runs. The lid usually goes in late May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Climate figures give an open season running late May to late October. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Lac Split Ouest the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Lac Split is 1.9 km distant. Treat Lac Split Ouest as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
