Lac Audru Fishing Guide, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Audru in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. This is spruce and muskeg ground. The water covers some 68 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Shoreline length is close to 6.1 km, and each section fishes a little differently. The nearest town is Waskaganish, 89 km away. Greater Sudbury sits 546 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Audru

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Audru fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 16°C and January about -19°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Lac Audru follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Miyachisachistuwach, 6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Lac Audru may have changed since it was mapped.
