Lac Beveridge Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Beveridge lies in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec. The water sits 385 metres up. Around 61 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work.

Then Chalk River, 107 km, and Mattawa, 110 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Beveridge

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Abitibi-Témiscamingue, recorded fish include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Lac Beveridge repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 17°C and January near -15°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Plan any trip to Lac Beveridge around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. 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. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac McConnell sits 2.1 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lac Beveridge are worth checking on the day.
