Lac Siran Fishing Guide, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Siran is a Nord-du-Québec water, in Quebec. It sits in northern bush country. At 7 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Our Nord-du-Québec list holds plenty of bigger water. Nearest place of any size is Chibougamau, 64 km away. Chapais follows at 90 km, then Mistissini at 95 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Siran

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Nord-du-Québec: Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Lac Siran gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 16°C and January reads -19°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. On Lac Siran the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac Dasny at 1.7 km is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Lac Siran.
