Lac Agris Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Agris is a Nord-du-Québec water, Quebec side. The water sits 412 metres up. The water covers some 10 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The edge runs 1.5 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. Most waters listed here for Nord-du-Québec are larger. Chibougamau sits 66 km from here and is the nearest stop. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 233 km away. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Agris

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lac Agris a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -19°C on the long-run figures. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. On Lac Agris 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. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Lac Veel, 0.6 km out. Treat access at Lac Agris as something to verify.
