The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Kitty

  We hold no depth figure for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Nord-du-Québec include Arctic charr, brook trout, lake trout and lake whitefish. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Take Lac Kitty a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 16°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Lac Kitty that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Lac Ford is 1 km off. Rules at Lac Kitty are worth checking on the day.
