Lac Kauauiekamat Fishing Guide, Côte-Nord, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Côte-Nord, Quebec, this is Lac Kauauiekamat. The water sits 18 metres up. It measures some 1.31 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. There is roughly 7.0 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. The nearest town is Saint-Augustin, 161 km away. Humber Arm South lies 216 km off, Irishtown-Summerside another 226 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kauauiekamat

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Lac Kauauiekamat decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 15°C at the top of summer and -13°C at the bottom of winter. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from early May until about late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Kauauiekamat.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Lac Kamahkuhiuakamat, 2.6 km away. Check the current arrangement for Lac Kauauiekamat.
