• Where to Fish on Lac Avigny

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Lac Avigny where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
