Lac Lugerat Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Lugerat lies in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. It stands 223 metres above sea level. This is sizeable water at about 2.52 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. Some 17 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Quebec listings. Kuujjuaq lies 220 km from the water. Saguenay is the closest city, 1166 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lugerat

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Nord-du-Québec: Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Work Lac Lugerat in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -24°C in January and 12°C in July. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early June. Break-up near early June, freeze-up near late October: that is the shape of an average year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Lac Lugerat runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Faribault at 15 km is the sensible second choice. Treat Lac Lugerat as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
