Lac Matjujuartalik near Inukjuak: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Lac Matjujuartalik in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. Elevation runs to 43 metres. Roughly 1.45 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. You are looking at roughly 9.0 km of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Head to Inukjuak, 11 km away, for anything you forgot. Puvirnituq follows at 181 km, then Sanikiluaq at 225 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Matjujuartalik

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Nord-du-Québec records list Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Anyone new to Lac Matjujuartalik should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 12°C and February reads -25°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early June. Expect the water usable from around early June until roughly early November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac Matjujuartalik runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. 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. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Lac Tasikallaapik at 3.2 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Lac Matjujuartalik in what we hold.
