• Where to Fish on Lac Pinguup Tasinga

  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. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Nord-du-Québec records list Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. Work Lac Pinguup Tasinga in sections rather than trying to cover it.

Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early June. Expect the water usable from around early June until roughly early November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Pinguup Tasinga.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not.
