• Where to Fish on Lac Nuluarniaviapik

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Across Nord-du-Québec, recorded fish include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Lac Nuluarniaviapik repays a walk before the first cast.

  Between February at about -24°C and July at about 12°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early June. Ice usually gives way near early June, and forms again about early November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Lac Nuluarniaviapik that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Ujarasutjulik, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Lac Nuluarniaviapik.
