Lac Vaujours Fishing in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Vaujours falls inside Nord-du-Québec. It sits at 462 metres above sea level. Around 19.78 sq km of open water: conditions change from one end to the other. You have roughly 55 km of edge to choose from, which rewards a scouting trip. It ranks high for size among our Nord-du-Québec listings. Kuujjuaq lies 322 km from the water. The big place round here is Saguenay, 785 km distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Vaujours

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Lac Vaujours gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -25°C in January and 12°C in July. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early June. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early June until roughly late October. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Time your trip to Lac Vaujours by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Lac Cordelier, 3.5 km out. None of that is settled for Lac Vaujours in what we hold.
