Kivivic Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Kivivic Lake lies in in Newfoundland and Labrador. The bank is 515 metres above sea level. Roughly 3.33 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Some 15 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Newfoundland and Labrador listings. Head to Labrador City, 230 km away, for anything you forgot. Wabush lies 236 km off, Fermont another 246 km. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Kivivic Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. At Kivivic Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does. Colour after rain pulls fish into the margins.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 12°C and January near -25°C. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early June. Ice usually gives way near early June, and forms again about mid October. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Kivivic Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. 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. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Greenbush Lake, 6.6 km away. For Kivivic Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
