  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. 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 Thury the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 11°C on average, January about -24°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid June.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Lac Trempe, 24 km out. The position on Lac De Thury is worth confirming on the day.
