Talzie Lake Fishing Guide, Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Look for Talzie Lake in Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits at 551 metres above sea level. At 5.37 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. The perimeter runs near 15 km, so plan the walk before you start. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Newfoundland and Labrador listings. Labrador City is the closest place, 66 km off. Saguenay is the closest city, 646 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Talzie Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across Labrador City, recorded fish include brook trout, northern pike, Atlantic salmon, lake whitefish and longnose sucker. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Talzie Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 13°C at the top of summer and -24°C at the bottom of winter. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Break-up comes around late May, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between late May and late October. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Talzie Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Lac Bernadette is 3.7 km off. Ask locally about Talzie Lake if anything is unclear.
