Lac Euryole Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Euryole is a Nord-du-Québec water, Quebec side. The country round it is taiga from end to end. Small at around 9 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Nord-du-Québec list. You are 47 km from Chibougamau. It is 247 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Euryole

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Lac Euryole gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 16°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Euryole.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Stheno at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Lac Euryole before loading the car.
