Lac du Criquet Fishing Guide, Quebec, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac du Criquet, in Quebec. It stands 342 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 4 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Quebec. Deep River lies 45 km from the water. For a city, Gatineau is 197 km off. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Criquet

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Take Lac du Criquet a stretch at a time. Shallow bays warm first and pull fish in early.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 18°C in July and bottoms out near -14°C in January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Expect Lac du Criquet to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Lac de l'Outarde, 0.8 km out. Ask locally about Lac du Criquet if anything is unclear.
