Lac Buies Fishing Guide, Quebec, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Buies lies within the bounds of Quebec. Elevation runs to 253 metres. The water covers some 83 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Shoreline length is close to 8.8 km, and each section fishes a little differently. It is among the larger waters listed here for Quebec. Start from Rouyn-Noranda, 39 km down the road. For a city, Greater Sudbury is 208 km off. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Buies

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Lac Buies gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. Depth change is worth more than distance from the bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 17°C and January about -17°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That shapes the year on Lac Buies.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Lac Kennedy is 2.8 km off. For Lac Buies, the notice at the access point is the final word.
