Lac Colombet Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, is where Lac Colombet sits. The bank is 230 metres above sea level. The closest town, Kuujjuaq, is 131 km distant. It is 961 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. Also worth knowing: Lac Mikwasich Pikwayipanah the better part of 4.9 km, Lac Beaunier at 8.1 km, Lac Dietrich the better part of 11 km, Lac Pikwayipananis at 11 km and Lac Rouviere the better part of 13 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Colombet

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Lac Colombet to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -25°C to 11°C. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Look for the thaw near early June; the fishing lifts straight after. In an average year the thaw lands around early June and the freeze near early November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. That shapes the year on Lac Colombet.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac Mikwasich Pikwayipanah sits 4.9 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Lac Colombet in what we hold.
