Lac De Noue Fishing Guide, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac De Noue falls in Nord-du-Québec, part of Quebec. The bank gives way to taiga. At roughly 10.78 sq km it ranks among the larger waters in the region. Shoreline length is close to 16 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Size puts it in the front rank of our Nord-du-Québec list. Kuujjuaq sits 213 km from the bank. For a city, Saguenay is 885 km off. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac De Noue

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. 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. Fish documented in Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Lac De Noue for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 12°C, with January the cold end at about -25°C. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early June. The season between ice runs from about early June to late October. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. On Lac De Noue the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Gerzine sits 10 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Lac De Noue.
