Lac Tasiqajuirutik, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Tasiqajuirutik belongs to Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. It stands 43 metres above sea level. About 7 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Nord-du-Québec list. Inukjuak is the closest place, 33 km off. Puvirnituq is 197 km and Sanikiluaq 215 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Tasiqajuirutik

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Nord-du-Québec names Arctic charr, Pacific cod, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Lac Tasiqajuirutik for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 12°C, with February the cold end at about -24°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. After early June the shallows warm and the fish move up. The lid tends to go about early June and return around early November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Tasiqajuirutik.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Sanningajuq at 1.7 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Lac Tasiqajuirutik as something to verify.
