Lac Tremblay Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Tremblay is a Côte-Nord water, in Quebec. The country here is boreal forest. The water covers some 43 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Shoreline length is close to 11 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Start from Sept-Îles, 41 km down the road. It is 377 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tremblay

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac Tremblay the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -18°C in January up to 15°C in July. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid May. In an average year the thaw lands around mid May and the freeze near early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That shapes the year on Lac Tremblay.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Lac Tropbeau, 1.5 km out. The position on Lac Tremblay is worth confirming on the day.
