WEATHER - CLOTHES - TO BRING

The Pyramid Mountain Camp is located in Nunavik ca. 1.400 km north of Montreal.
But It does'nt mean, it is much colder in summer.

When we are open in August and September you may experience sunny and warm, but not unpleasant hot days.

At the same time the thermometer can drop down significantly and a few windy and rainy days maybe excellent for fishing, but not for sensitive fisherman and -girls.
Experienced fly fishermen know what to bring, but check with our list before you forget something.

We simply don't want, that you overload yourself or an aircraft.

But ... the weather in Arctic Quebec during late August to mid- September can be very changeable. Good rain gear is a must and you should dress in layers which will enable you to add or shed a layer of clothing as the weather changes.
