Lac de la Bordure, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac de la Bordure is an Abitibi-Témiscamingue water, in Quebec. The setting is lake country bush. With some 18 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The full circuit measures close to 3.3 km on foot. Saint-Boniface at 107 km is the nearest place to stop. After that come Val-d'Or at 118 km and Maniwaki at 119 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac de la Bordure

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Abitibi-Témiscamingue, recorded fish include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac de la Bordure a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -17°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near late November in autumn. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Lac de la Bordure rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Ralph, 0.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Lac de la Bordure if anything is unclear.
