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

• Overview

  Lac Ujarasutjulik is listed under Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. The bank gives way to northern bush. This is sizeable water at about 1.18 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. Shoreline length is close to 8.1 km, and each section fishes a little differently. It lies lower than most water we list in Quebec. Inukjuak at 32 km is the nearest place to stop. It is 1192 km to Saguenay, the nearest city. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Ujarasutjulik

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Nord-du-Québec list Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Lac Ujarasutjulik decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 12°C and February reads -24°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early June. The lid tends to go about early June and return around early November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Lac Ujarasutjulik follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Nuluarniaviapik sits 0.9 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Lac Ujarasutjulik as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
