Lac Pomcy in Nord-du-Québec: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Lac Pomcy in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. What surrounds it is boreal forest. About 2.10 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. The shoreline runs about 8.3 km, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. 310 km away sits Labrador City, the nearest town. Wabush follows at 316 km, then Fermont at 317 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pomcy

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Records held for Nord-du-Québec cover Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Lac Pomcy repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 12°C and January near -25°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early June. Averages place the thaw at early June and the freeze at late October. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Anyone fishing Lac Pomcy regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lac Joinville, 4.5 km away. Nothing on Lac Pomcy should be assumed from this page alone.
