• Where to Fish on Quatrieme Lac

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine list Atlantic cod, American eel, Pacific cod, striped bass and alewife. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. The shape of Quatrieme Lac decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -12°C in January and 16°C in July. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That shapes the year on Quatrieme Lac.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Troisieme Lac sits 0.2 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Quatrieme Lac are worth checking on the day.
