Fishing at Lac Asasp, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Asasp lies in Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec. Height above sea level is 395 metres. Surface area runs to about 5 hectares — small enough to read in one session. Most waters listed here for Nord-du-Québec are larger. Chibougamau sits 60 km from here and is the nearest stop. Chapais follows at 63 km, then Mistissini at 118 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Asasp

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Lac Asasp the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -19°C to 16°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Asasp.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is a pier recorded roughly 810 m away. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Huez sits 0.4 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Lac Asasp in what we hold.
