Lac Nuluarniaviup Tungalinga, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Nord-du-Québec in Quebec is where Lac Nuluarniaviup Tungalinga sits. This is spruce and muskeg country. This is sizeable water at about 1.22 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The outline measures near 11 km, so local knowledge counts. It is low-lying compared with other Quebec water we list. Inukjuak lies 19 km from the water. Puvirnituq lies 164 km off, Sanikiluaq another 242 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Nuluarniaviup Tungalinga

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Lac Nuluarniaviup Tungalinga rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -25°C in February and 12°C in July. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. After early June the shallows warm and the fish move up. On average, early June opens the water and early November closes it again. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Nuluarniaviup Tungalinga.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Lac Nuluarniavik at 2.1 km is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Lac Nuluarniaviup Tungalinga.
