• Where to Fish on Lac Foulhiac

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Nord-du-Québec list Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Fish Lac Foulhiac where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 14°C and January near -23°C on the long-run figures. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late May. Open water usually runs from late May until about early November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Foulhiac.
