On Lac Ivitaaqqut that means starting tight and working out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Nallujuaq at 12 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lac Ivitaaqqut should be assumed from this page alone.
