Tulemalu Lake Fishing Guide, Nunavut, Nunavut

• Overview

  Tulemalu Lake lies within the bounds of Nunavut. Beyond the shoreline you have sage and rock. At roughly 663.36 sq km it ranks among the larger waters in the region. There is far more edge than the surface area suggests, thanks to the arms. Size puts it in the front rank of our Nunavut list. Baker Lake is the closest town at 225 km. The big place round here is Saskatoon, 1278 km distant. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Tulemalu Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Work Tulemalu Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -30°C to 9°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Count the season from break-up, usually late June. Climate figures give an open season running late June to mid October. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Time your trip to Tulemalu Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Pamiutuq Lake sits 22 km off and takes the overflow. Signs at Tulemalu Lake carry more weight than any list.
