• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lac Kahakauhumakaht at 2.3 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Kanekauakamat for certain.
