Lac Ujarasujjulik, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Ujarasujjulik lies in Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec. Height above sea level is 163 metres. It measures some 2.64 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. Around 12 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. For supplies, Kuujjuaq is 138 km out. It is 1164 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Ujarasujjulik

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Lac Ujarasujjulik rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 11°C and January near -22°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early June. Open water usually runs from early June until about late October. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It holds true on Lac Ujarasujjulik more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Lac Ternaux is 6.8 km off. Treat Lac Ujarasujjulik as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
