  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Kelsey include white sucker, johnny darter, northern pike and walleye. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Kakat Mitatut Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 17°C; the cold one sits at -22°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. It sets the rhythm of the year at Kakat Mitatut Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Mitatut Lake, 1.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Kakat Mitatut Lake locally before you travel.
