Lac Houston Fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Lac Houston lies in Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits at 581 metres above sea level. Around 61 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The perimeter runs near 6.8 km, so plan the walk before you start. Most waters listed here for Newfoundland and Labrador are larger. Supplies mean a trip to Labrador City, 199 km off. Wabush follows at 204 km, then Fermont at 217 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Houston

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On Lac Houston the obvious spot is not always the productive one. Keep the approach quiet on shallow water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 12°C and January near -24°C on the long-run figures. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late May. On average, late May opens the water and late October closes it again. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan any trip to Lac Houston around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Mike Lake sits 5.4 km off and takes the overflow. What applies at Lac Houston may have changed since it was mapped.
