Fishing at Lac Lamberville, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, this is Lac Lamberville. Beyond the shoreline you have taiga. It measures some 2.71 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. Labrador City sits 309 km from here and is the nearest stop. It is 721 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. In the same area: Lac Gournay within 8.5 km, Lac Labossiere after 11 km, Lac Verrier within 11 km, Lac Rouer after 12 km and Lac Chastelain within 12 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lamberville

  We hold no depth figure for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Nord-du-Québec list Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Take Lac Lamberville a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -25°C in January up to 13°C in July. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late May. Open water usually runs from late May until about late October. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Lac Lamberville.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Gournay at 8.5 km is the sensible second choice. The position on Lac Lamberville is worth confirming on the day.
