Lac Kamitaskokamak Fishing in Lanaudière, Quebec

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Kamitaskokamak belongs to Lanaudière. It lies 416 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 24 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The whole outline is near 3.3 km, and most of it is walkable. Manawan at 31 km is the nearest place to stop. For a city, Trois-Rivières is 146 km off. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kamitaskokamak

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Lanaudière cover pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac Kamitaskokamak that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -16°C in January up to 17°C in July. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Time your trip to Lac Kamitaskokamak by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Launching is at Mise à l'eau, about 1.1 km away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac du Corlieu sits 0.2 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Lac Kamitaskokamak.
