Lac Cecidie, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Lac Cecidie is a Quebec water. It lies 357 metres above sea level. Val-d'Or sits 102 km from here and is the nearest stop. The big place round here is Gatineau, 233 km distant. In the same area: Lac Tinamou a touch under 0.4 km, Lac Joe just 2.4 km, Lac Gobie a touch under 2.4 km, Lac Doulon just 2.6 km and Lac Rimiere a touch under 2.8 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Cecidie

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Lac Cecidie decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 17°C for July and -17°C for January. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Cecidie.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Lac Tinamou, 0.4 km out. What applies at Lac Cecidie may have changed since it was mapped.
