Lac Fiacre, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Fiacre sits within Abitibi-Témiscamingue in Quebec. It sits in boreal forest. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list. Senneterre lies 94 km from the water. The big place round here is Gatineau, 251 km distant. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Lac Fiacre

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Lac Fiacre gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 17°C and January reads -17°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. That shapes the year on Lac Fiacre.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac de la Jungle, 0.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Lac Fiacre if anything is unclear.
