Lac Kamiltaukas Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Kamiltaukas stands in Côte-Nord, Quebec. The water sits 332 metres up. At 1.62 sq km this is proper open water rather than a pond. There is roughly 15 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. Hauterive sits 68 km from the bank. For a city, Saguenay is 205 km off. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kamiltaukas

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Côte-Nord list logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Lac Kamiltaukas to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -18°C. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Lac Kamiltaukas.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Petit lac la Croix is 2.8 km off. Confirm before you fish Lac Kamiltaukas.
