Lac Talo Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Talo is listed under Côte-Nord, Quebec. The water sits 581 metres up. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. Most waters listed here for Côte-Nord are larger. Start from Forestville, 122 km down the road. Saint-Honoré lies 122 km off, Saint-Fulgence another 125 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Talo

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name logperch. The county list is broader than any single water. Take Lac Talo a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -19°C to 16°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid May. Break-up sits around mid May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac Talo fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. 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. Lac Toupie sits 0.5 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Talo for certain.
