Lac Aumet, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, is where Lac Aumet sits. It stands 202 metres above sea level. At 1.92 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. You have roughly 25 km of edge to choose from, which rewards a scouting trip. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Quebec listings. Supplies mean a trip to Sanikiluaq, 236 km off. Inukjuak lies 276 km off, Chisasibi another 370 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Aumet

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish documented in Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Lac Aumet that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 13°C and January about -23°C. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Count the season from break-up, usually late May. Climate averages put the opening at about late May and the closing near early November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan around that when you fish Lac Aumet.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Lac Dumontier, 17 km out. Treat access at Lac Aumet as something to verify.
