• Where to Fish on Lac du Camee

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Abitibi-Témiscamingue records list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. Anyone new to Lac du Camee should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -17°C and July at about 17°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The ice season is long here and the open one short. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to mid November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Lac du Camee.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Lac Mabel is 1.5 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Lac du Camee for certain.
