Lac Stick, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Stick stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The bank is 584 metres above sea level. About 8 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is high ground by Quebec standards. The town to know is Forestville, 125 km out. Saguenay sits 138 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Stick

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name logperch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Take Lac Stick a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 15°C and January reads -19°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. Count the season from break-up, usually mid May. On average, mid May opens the water and early November closes it again. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Lac Stick runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. 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. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lac Asti sits 0.6 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lac Stick are worth checking on the day.
