Fishing Lac Kavisiliarulik in Nord-du-Québec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Kavisiliarulik sits within Nord-du-Québec in Quebec. The setting is northern bush on every side. This is sizeable water at about 5.35 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. With 21 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. By size it stands out even at Quebec level. Kuujjuaq sits 68 km from the bank. Saguenay is the closest city, 1113 km away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kavisiliarulik

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Lac Kavisiliarulik a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 11°C in July and bottom out at -23°C in January. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early June. From about early June to around late October, expect open water on the long-run figures. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Lac Kavisiliarulik that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac Qiukivik at 6.1 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Lac Kavisiliarulik in what we hold.
