Flat light and a covered sky today, with a working NNE breeze and the barometer holding steady. Start the search at Lac Akakaumaymakuch along structure within a cast of the bank. Numbers are low everywhere; the night is the pick of them. Scale down and fish slowly. Autumn rewards covering water while the fish roam.

In Quebec, Lac Akakaumaymakuch falls inside Nord-du-Québec. Everything around it is northern bush. Around 13 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The bank runs about 1.9 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Nord-du-Québec list. For a base, Chisasibi sits 4.4 km out. The nearest city of size is Saguenay, 806 km away. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Lac Akakaumaymakuch gives up more to patience than to distance.
The range across the year is -23°C to 14°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid May. Averages suggest open water from about mid May through to roughly mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. At Lac Akakaumaymakuch the season follows that pattern closely.
Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lac Wawiyakamaw at 5.9 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Akakaumaymakuch for certain.
