Lac Kaauushichikaatakamau responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

Ice clears near mid May and comes back about early November in a typical year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Kaauushichikaatakamau.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Pestichskau, 22 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Lac Kaauushichikaatakamau are worth checking on the day.
