• Where to Fish on Lac Katshihtshekakamat

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Records held for Côte-Nord cover logperch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Lac Katshihtshekakamat to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about late November in a typical year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan any trip to Lac Katshihtshekakamat around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Lac Kauauiekamat is 3.5 km off. Signs at Lac Katshihtshekakamat carry more weight than any list.
