• Where to Fish on Petit lac Avrie

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Nord-du-Québec cover Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout, lake whitefish and cisco. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Petit lac Avrie the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 16°C; by January the average is down near -19°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Petit lac Avrie.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. 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. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Pirey, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Petit lac Avrie.
