• Where to Fish on Lac du Flanc de Resineux

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Species logged across Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac du Flanc de Resineux fishes better once you know its edges.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Lewis, 9.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Lac du Flanc de Resineux locally before you travel.
