• Where to Fish on Lac Des Taillis

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat Lac Des Taillis as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 14°C, while January sits near -23°C. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Break-up comes around late May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from late May until about late October. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Des Taillis.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Lac Giriar at 10 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position at Lac Des Taillis before loading the car.
