Lac Nuluarniavik Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  The Nord-du-Québec end of Quebec holds Lac Nuluarniavik. Elevation runs to 42 metres. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. Inukjuak lies 50 km from the water. After that come Puvirnituq at 132 km and Sanikiluaq at 273 km. Also on the doorstep: Lac Saalikkut Nuluarniavingat after 7.7 km, Lac Pangalartalik sits 9 km out, Lac Inutsuliup Tasinga after 10 km, Lac Dutort sits 11 km out and Lac Iqaluujarviapik after 16 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Nuluarniavik

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Nord-du-Québec cover Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Nuluarniavik the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 12°C; the cold one sits at -25°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early June. From about early June to around early November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Nuluarniavik.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Lac Saalikkut Nuluarniavingat, 7.7 km away. Confirm before you fish Lac Nuluarniavik.
