Lac Armentieres, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Armentieres lies within the bounds of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The bank is 396 metres above sea level. Roughly 1.26 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Some 7.3 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. It is among the larger waters listed here for Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The closest town, Ferme-Neuve, is 113 km distant. Senneterre follows at 121 km, then Saint-Boniface at 125 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Armentieres

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Anyone new to Lac Armentieres should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -18°C in January up to 17°C in July. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. The season on Lac Armentieres follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Lac Foch is 3 km distant. Nothing on Lac Armentieres should be assumed from this page alone.
