Tasialuk Lake Fishing Guide, Nunavut, Nunavut

• Overview

  You will find Tasialuk Lake in Nunavut. The sea is 17 km distant. It measures some 6.39 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. The bank runs about 33 km in total, split between open shore and sheltered corners. Start from Naujaat, 45 km down the road. It is 1906 km to Winnipeg, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Tasialuk Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On Tasialuk Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -31°C in February to roughly 10°C in July. A short, intense season is the rule this far north. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late June. On average, late June opens the water and early October closes it again. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That shapes the year on Tasialuk Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Iviangirnalik Lake, 15 km out. Signs at Tasialuk Lake carry more weight than any list.
