Fresh rain topping the water up today, with steady pressure of wind from the NE and no real change in pressure. The productive water at Lac Bondesir will be around bays that hold the day's warmth. A hard day on paper; the night edges the rest. Scale down and fish slowly. Cold hands, careful casts: precision is everything today.

You will find Lac Bondesir in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. It sits at 254 metres above sea level. About 6.69 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. The shoreline runs to about 30 km, far more than one trip can cover. It is one of the larger waters we list anywhere in Quebec. The closest town, Chisasibi, is 227 km distant. After that come Sanikiluaq at 263 km and Inukjuak at 406 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.
Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Nord-du-Québec records list Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Lac Bondesir rewards a slow walk along one bank.
Averages move between -23°C in January and 14°C in July. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late May. Open water usually runs from late May until about early November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Bondesir.
Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Lac Clerin, 7.5 km away. Check the current arrangement for Lac Bondesir.
