Lac Montvais Fishing in Quebec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Montvais falls in in Quebec. Height above sea level is 611 metres. At 8.61 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. The shoreline runs to about 32 km, far more than one trip can cover. It is among the larger waters listed here for Quebec. The nearest town is Labrador City, 43 km away. Beyond it, Wabush at 49 km and Fermont at 50 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Montvais

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. At Lac Montvais light and wind decide more than tackle does. Keep your shadow off the water when the bank is high.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 13°C and January near -23°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late May. Ice clears near late May and comes back about late October in a typical year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Lac Montvais by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lac Lucault, 10 km away. None of that is settled for Lac Montvais in what we hold.
