Lac Very, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Lac Very in Côte-Nord, Quebec. It sits in spruce and muskeg country. About 5 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Côte-Nord list. Saint-Alexandre lies 42 km from the water. Saguenay is the closest city, 312 km away. Also worth knowing: Lac Robert at 0.6 km, Lac Duff (0.8 km), Lac Noel at 1.2 km, Lac aux Bouleaux (2.1 km) and Troisieme lac de la Riviere aux Bouleaux at 2.1 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Very

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Lac Very decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 15°C; the cold one sits at -16°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. At Lac Very the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Lac Robert, 0.6 km out. Where Lac Very is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
