• Overview

Most waters listed here for Nord-du-Québec are larger. For a base, Waskaganish sits 92 km out. Further out sit Chisasibi (210 km) and Moose Factory (215 km). It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kawistisiuch

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Work Lac Kawistisiuch in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -20°C in January up to 16°C in July. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid May. Averages place the thaw at mid May and the freeze at mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Lac Kawistisiuch the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Amiskw Kachimayiwat, 2.8 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Lac Kawistisiuch are worth checking on the day.
