Lac Wiyâshâkimî (formerly known as Lac à l'Eau Claire, or Clearwater Lake) is one of Quebec's most extraordinary and remote fishing destinations, sitting at an elevation of 240 meters in the vast Nunavik wilderness of Nord-du-Québec. As the second largest natural lake in the province, covering an impressive 2,243 km², this ancient water body was formed by a meteorite impact approximately 290 million years ago during the Permian period, resulting in two juxtaposed circular basins measuring 26 and 36 kilometers in diameter respectively. The lake drains westward into Hudson Bay via the Rivière à l'Eau Claire (Clearwater River), which flows approximately 70 km through remote subarctic tundra. The waters are strikingly clear and oligotrophic — nutrient-poor in the way that defines the finest cold-water fisheries of the Canadian Shield — and the surrounding landscape transitions between boreal forest and shrub tundra, with 11 islands arranged in a circular pattern within the western basin. This is a place where the Cree First Nations people have hunted and fished for generations, particularly during spring and autumn, and where true wilderness fishing remains an authentic and deeply rewarding experience.
