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

• Overview

  Lac Siurivvik lies in Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec. The coast is 27 km away. The water covers around 7.72 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Some 42 km of shoreline means conditions can differ from one end to the other. It ranks among the bigger water on our Quebec list. Start from Kuujjuaq, 78 km down the road. It is 1108 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Siurivvik

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Nord-du-Québec: Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Lac Siurivvik responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 11°C at the top of summer and -23°C at the bottom of winter. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early June. Ice clears near early June and comes back about late October in a typical year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lac Siurivvik runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Lac Qiukivik is 12 km off. None of that is settled for Lac Siurivvik in what we hold.
