Lac Dangeville, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Dangeville belongs to Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. It stands 292 metres above sea level. The water covers some 31 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. There is roughly 2.5 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. The closest town, Barraute, is 20 km distant. The nearest city of size is Greater Sudbury, 348 km away. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Lac Dangeville

  Nothing in our records gives a depth 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. Abitibi-Témiscamingue records list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. Lac Dangeville gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -17°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Dangeville.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac La Morandiere sits 12 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Lac Dangeville before loading the car.
