Lac Tricorne in Côte-Nord: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Within Côte-Nord, Quebec, you have Lac Tricorne. The ground around here is boreal forest. At 9 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. You are 64 km from Forestville. Then Betsiamites, 84 km, and Les Escoumins, 87 km. Close neighbours run: Petit lac Tricorne near enough 0.9 km, Lac La Corne within 1.3 km, Lac Yvette near enough 2.1 km, Lac Lobo within 3.4 km and Lac Rigolet near enough 3.6 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tricorne

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Côte-Nord include logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Lac Tricorne decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -18°C in January to roughly 16°C in July. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Lac Tricorne fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Petit lac Tricorne is 0.9 km distant. The position on Lac Tricorne is worth confirming on the day.
