Lac Trun Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Trun sits in Nord-du-Québec, out in Quebec. This is taiga ground. The water measures roughly 8 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Nord-du-Québec. Supplies mean a trip to Chibougamau, 63 km off. Chapais lies 86 km off, Mistissini another 99 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Trun

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Nord-du-Québec records list Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco among the fish reported. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Lac Trun gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -19°C for January. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. The season on Lac Trun rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac Vitot is 0.9 km distant. What applies at Lac Trun may have changed since it was mapped.
