• Where to Fish on Lac Beru

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Across Nord-du-Québec, recorded fish include Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Lac Beru gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 16°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. It holds true on Lac Beru more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac Igon, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Lac Beru before loading the car.
