• Where to Fish on Lac en Serre

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Fish Lac en Serre where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 17°C, while January sits near -15°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Lac en Serre fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac Viernay sits 0.8 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Lac en Serre should be assumed from this page alone.
