    Recreation

    Tachick Lake is usually quite calm offering excellent kayaking, canoeing and bird watching. The peaceful, secluded lake provides excellent fishing opportunities and produces rainbow trout up to 6+ lbs. The favourite method is trolling with lures, plugs or spinning gear, however fly fishermen also meet with good success.

    Bird watching and hunting is also very popular in this area. Tachick lake provides important habitat for migrating waterfowl in the fall between September and November. Numbers seem to peak in October; for instance, in mid-October 1990, an aerial survey recorded 6,368 and 11,263 ducks at Tachick and Nulki lakes respectively. When the smaller numbers of geese and swans are added, 17,726 waterfowl were counted in total. Other October counts have recorded about 11,000 and 16,000 waterfowl. At Tachick Lake, diving ducks and dabblers more common. In both lakes, the most common diving ducks are scaup, followed by goldeneye, while the dabbling duck species are dominated by Mallards and American Wigeon.

    At certain times during the fall, Canada Geese are also common on the lakes. In 1990, for example, a late fall census recorded 1,371 Canada Geese on Tachick Lake and 3,440 on Nulki Lake. Other bird species that use lake include gulls, Sandhill Cranes, swans, and coots.
