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

• Overview

  You will find Lac Tasialuk in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. The water sits 132 metres up. This is sizeable water at about 2.92 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. Some 22 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. Inukjuak lies 80 km from the water. Puvirnituq is 152 km away, with Sanikiluaq at 280 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tasialuk

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Nord-du-Québec cover Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Work Lac Tasialuk in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 12°C in July and bottoms out near -24°C in February. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early June. The water is typically free of ice between early June and early November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac Tasialuk.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Lac Isuursiuvik is 2.6 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Tasialuk for certain.
