Lac De La Noue, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac De La Noue is one of the Nord-du-Québec listings for Quebec. It stands 435 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to some 48.06 sq km, so a boat and a plan are both worth having. The bank runs about 262 km in total, split between open shore and sheltered corners. On our Nord-du-Québec list it sits near the top for size. Nearest place of any size is Labrador City, 373 km away. Fermont follows at 374 km, then Wabush at 379 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac De La Noue

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Treat Lac De La Noue as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -24°C and July at about 13°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The year here is short and sharp: a long lid, then a burst of open water. Winter locks it down, and late May brings it back. In an average year the thaw lands around late May and the freeze near early November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Lac De La Noue runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Lac Druillon is 15 km off. None of that is settled for Lac De La Noue in what we hold.
