Records held for Nord-du-Québec cover Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Lac Morrice repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 12°C and January near -24°C on the long-run figures. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early June. The season between ice runs from about early June to late October. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Lac Morrice rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Lac Benita at 20 km is the nearest alternative. For Lac Morrice, the notice at the access point is the final word.
