• Where to Fish on Lac Bellecour

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public occurrence data for Nord-du-Québec names Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Bellecour the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 13°C on average, January about -24°C. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Break-up comes around late May, and the run that follows is short and strong. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late May and starts locking again about late October. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That shapes the year on Lac Bellecour.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first.
