• Where to Fish on Lacs Situunniit

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Nord-du-Québec, recorded fish include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lacs Situunniit the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -25°C to 10°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. The lid usually goes in mid June, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Ice usually gives way near mid June, and forms again about mid October. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lacs Situunniit.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Lac Navvaataaq, 5.6 km out. Nothing on Lacs Situunniit should be assumed from this page alone.
