Lac Tecca Inferieur, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Tecca Inferieur lies in Côte-Nord, in Quebec. Elevation runs to 553 metres. With some 25 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 3.0 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Compared with other Quebec water on our list, it sits high. Forestville at 81 km is the nearest place to stop. Saguenay sits 104 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tecca Inferieur

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac Tecca Inferieur gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -18°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Lac Tecca Inferieur.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac du Delai, 0.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Lac Tecca Inferieur is worth confirming on the day.
