Fishing at Lac Radumay, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, is where Lac Radumay sits. The bank is 384 metres above sea level. Around 26 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The full circuit measures close to 4.4 km on foot. Our Nord-du-Québec list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, Chibougamau is 69 km out. It is 224 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Radumay

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Nord-du-Québec records list Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Radumay gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 16°C and January near -19°C. Ice holds for a long stretch, so the open weeks matter more here than further south. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Radumay.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac Ascou at 1.7 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Lac Radumay in what we hold.
