It is low-lying compared with other Quebec water we list. Inukjuak sits 47 km from here and is the nearest stop. It is 1169 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Innaalulik

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Nord-du-Québec cover Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lac Innaalulik the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 12°C; the cold one sits at -24°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. Count the season from break-up, usually early June. Open water usually runs from early June until about early November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Innaalulik.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Lac Champignon is 1.9 km distant. Treat Lac Innaalulik as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
