On Lac Serindac the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Lac Allatuurusiup, 20 km out. For Lac Serindac, the notice at the access point is the final word.
