Lac Voixpreux Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Voixpreux is listed under Côte-Nord, Quebec. Height above sea level is 485 metres. About 2.15 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. Some 10 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. It is among the larger waters listed here for Côte-Nord. The closest town, Labrador City, is 231 km away. Wabush is 235 km and Fermont 250 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Voixpreux

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Côte-Nord: logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Lac Voixpreux light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 12°C; the cold one sits at -24°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early June. Average temperatures cross freezing around early June in spring and again near late October in autumn. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It holds true on Lac Voixpreux more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Martin Lake at 3.5 km is the sensible second choice. For Lac Voixpreux in particular, ask before you travel.
