Fishing at Lac du Soufflet, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac du Soufflet is an Abitibi-Témiscamingue water, Quebec side. Elevation runs to 377 metres. The water measures roughly 8 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. For a base, Notre-Dame-du-Lac sits 64 km out. After that come Témiscaming at 69 km and Saint-Isidore at 70 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac du Soufflet

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Lac du Soufflet should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -16°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. That shapes the year on Lac du Soufflet.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Lepage, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Lac du Soufflet.
