Fishing Lac de la Pointe in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac de la Pointe in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. This is spruce and muskeg country. This is big water, about 25.57 sq km, and in a wind it behaves like a small sea. Around 213 km of margin, so directions matter more than a general plan. Size puts it in the front rank of our Nord-du-Québec list. The closest town, Godefroy, is 194 km away. For a city, Saguenay is 474 km off. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Pointe

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Nord-du-Québec list Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. The county list is broader than any single water. At Lac de la Pointe the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 14°C and January at -23°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late May. From about late May to around early November, expect open water on the long-run figures. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. On Lac de la Pointe the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Dahouet at 13 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lac de la Pointe locally before you travel.
