Petit lac Beaudin Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Petit lac Beaudin belongs to Côte-Nord. The ground round it is taiga. Around 39 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. About 4.0 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. For a base, Forestville sits 57 km out. The big place round here is Saguenay, 131 km distant. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Beaudin

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. At Petit lac Beaudin the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. On Petit lac Beaudin the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. 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. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac du Balai at 2 km is the nearest alternative.
