Teasing the fish, in winter? Yes! On a frozen lake or river, ice fishing is an absolutely extraordinary experience. All you need is to dress warm… unless you handle your fishing rod (traditionally called a “brimbale”) at one of the many sites that are equipped with heated shelters. The fish are always ready to bite. Whether you are a beginner or a savvy angler, with family or friends, everyone has fun fishing in the middle of winter in Quebec.
Set out to discover the Tourisme Nunavik visitor region, and all the immensity of the tundra and taiga north of the 55th parallel. Known as Northern Quebec’s Arctic region, among other attractions Nunavik has countless lakes sculpted by glaciers, as well as Pingualuit Crater. The Inuit, Aboriginal Canadians who rely on hunting and fishing, gladly share their traditions and culture with you, guiding you around Nunavik on foot, by dog-sled or snowmobile, and taking you out to see the magnificent aurora borealis in one of Nunavut’s three Quebec National Parks ? Parc national des Pingualuit, Parc national Kuururjuaq and Parc national Tursujuq. The habitat of seals, polar bears, snowy owls, wolves, caribou and many northern bird species, this virgin territory spans 507,000 sq. km across Northern Quebec.
