• Where to Fish on Lac Tasikkuminai

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Nord-du-Québec records list Arctic charr, brook trout and lake trout among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. At Lac Tasikkuminai the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Lac Isiuralittaalik at 2.1 km is the nearest alternative. For Lac Tasikkuminai, the notice at the access point is the final word.
