Lac Larrey Fishing Guide, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Larrey lies in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. This is spruce and muskeg country. The water covers some 14 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Roughly 2.6 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. On size it sits at the modest end of our Nord-du-Québec list. Chibougamau sits 50 km from here and is the nearest stop. Then Mistissini, 74 km, and Chapais, 82 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Larrey

  We hold no depth figure for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Nord-du-Québec: Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Lac Larrey gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 16°C in July and bottom out at -20°C in January. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly early November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Lac Larrey by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac du Beaujolais, 2.2 km away. Ask locally about Lac Larrey if anything is unclear.
