Lac De Vaulx Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac De Vaulx belongs to Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. It lies 189 metres above sea level. Roughly 5.61 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Shoreline length is close to 14 km, and each section fishes a little differently. It is one of the larger waters we list anywhere in Quebec. The nearest place of any size is Chisasibi, 178 km away. Waskaganish is 267 km and Mistissini 367 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac De Vaulx

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Nord-du-Québec cover Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lac De Vaulx the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 14°C and January about -21°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid May. Open water usually runs from mid May until about early November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Lac De Vaulx.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Bonfait sits 21 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Lac De Vaulx is worth confirming on the day.
