Snow squalls possible through the day, with a persistent wind from the NNW and pressure sitting still. Most of the action on Lac Duquet should come off any hard bottom among the soft. The day peaks in the night. Cover water early, then settle where the signs are. A hard-frost feel to the day; keep expectations modest.

Lac Duquet is listed under Centre-du-Québec, Quebec. The ground round it is spruce and muskeg. It measures some 5.63 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. The outline measures near 17 km, so local knowledge counts. Across our Quebec listings, few waters are bigger. Start from Salluit, 60 km down the road. Kinngait lies 262 km off, Puvirnituq another 269 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.
No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Centre-du-Québec include brook trout, northern pike and lake chub. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Lac Duquet the obvious spot is not always the productive one.
On the long-term average, July reads 10°C and January reads -24°C. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. Break-up comes around mid June, and the run that follows is short and strong. The water is typically free of ice between mid June and mid October. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. The season on Lac Duquet rarely departs from it.
No public source sets out the position on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. 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. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Lac Francoys-Malherbe is 16 km off. What applies at Lac Duquet may have changed since it was mapped.
