East Watjask Lake
East Watjask Lake is 76.7 hectares with a maximum depth of 10.9 meters and a mean depth of 3.7 meters. East Watjask is home to a very targetable yellow perch population. Because the lake receives such low fishing pressure the perch fishing can be non-stop action. Be sure to take a trip in winter as access is much easier and perch will be easily targeted.
**Due to the nature of difficulty regarding access on backcountry lakes, launch access areas are restricted to small watercraft only.
