• Overview

Further out sit Puvirnituq (307 km) and Iqaluit (329 km). It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Gruenerite

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Take Lac de la Gruenerite a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between February at about -24°C and July at about 10°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late June. Expect the water usable from around late June until roughly mid October. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. That shapes the year on Lac de la Gruenerite.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here.
