Fishing Lac Labossiere in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Labossiere is listed under Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. What surrounds it is northern bush. About 4.72 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. At about 22 km of edge, most people work one arm at a time. For a base, Labrador City sits 308 km out. Fermont is 312 km away, with Wabush at 313 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Labossiere

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Nord-du-Québec, recorded fish include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Work Lac Labossiere in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 12°C and January at -25°C. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late May until roughly late October. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. The season on Lac Labossiere rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. 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. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Lac Saint-Lusson, 9.5 km away. The position on Lac Labossiere is worth confirming on the day.
