Petit lac Cache Fishing in Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Petit lac Cache is one of the Côte-Nord listings for Quebec. The country round it is northern bush from end to end. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Port-Cartier lies 20 km from the water. Further out sit Saint-Alexandre (21 km) and Sept-Îles (23 km). Also on the doorstep: Lac Mirka 0.7 km, Lac Cache a touch under 0.7 km, Lac Labrie 1.1 km, Lac Simone a touch under 3.6 km and Lac Beau 5.2 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac Cache

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Côte-Nord include logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. At Petit lac Cache the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -16°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Petit lac Cache.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Parking sits 1.2 km out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac Mirka sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. Where Petit lac Cache is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
