Steady rain over the water today, with almost no wind to speak of with the barometer flat. Most of the action on Etang Price should come off any hard bottom among the soft. Quiet conditions all day, with the night marginally better. Save the long walk for a better forecast. Shortening days concentrate the feeding into fewer hours.

Etang Price lies in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The land about it is pine and birch. Around 14 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Shoreline comes to about 1.6 km, small enough to learn in a day. Head to Mattawa, 42 km away, for anything you forgot. The big place round here is Greater Sudbury, 197 km distant. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Reported across Abitibi-Témiscamingue: northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Etang Price where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
Long-term averages put July at about 18°C and January near -14°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Etang Price the same rules apply, with local timing.
We hold no note on access for this one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Lac des Sables is 2.1 km distant. For Etang Price, the notice at the access point is the final word.
