Petit lac de la Ligne Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Petit lac de la Ligne sits in Côte-Nord, out in Quebec. It stands 116 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 4 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is a small entry by Côte-Nord standards. Baie-Comeau is the closest town at 47 km. Beyond it, Hauterive at 55 km and Matane at 56 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Petit lac de la Ligne

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Côte-Nord, recorded fish include logperch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Petit lac de la Ligne gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -13°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. It sets the rhythm of the year at Petit lac de la Ligne.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac du Cran Vert, 1.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Petit lac de la Ligne locally before you travel.
