Reservoir Laforge 2 Fishing Guide, Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Reservoir Laforge 2 belongs to Nord-du-Québec, Quebec. The surface lies 476 metres up. It covers about 293.32 sq km, which means weather matters as much as tactics. Its outline wanders a long way for the area it covers, which puts more edge in play. It ranks high for size among our Nord-du-Québec listings. Labrador City sits 318 km from the bank. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 697 km away. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir Laforge 2

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public occurrence data for Nord-du-Québec names Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 12°C; by January the average is down near -24°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice-out usually falls in early June, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early June until roughly early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It is an impounded water, so levels are managed and can shift through the year. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Lac Montboissier is 10 km distant. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
