Clear conditions and high sun today, with almost no wind to speak of and the barometer holding steady. On Lac Bajoue, work the margins and the shelf beyond them first. A hard day on paper; the night edges the rest. Scale down and fish slowly. Fish follow the bait in autumn, so find one to find the other.

Lac Bajoue belongs to Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. Height above sea level is 337 metres. It runs to roughly 13 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 2.1 km of margin, front to back. The nearest town is Saint-Isidore, 62 km away. For a city, Greater Sudbury is 208 km off. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Our records hold no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Abitibi-Témiscamingue records list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Lac Bajoue fishes better once you know its edges.
Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That shapes the year on Lac Bajoue.
Public data does not answer the access question here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Lac Klock is 0.5 km off. Confirm before you fish Lac Bajoue.
