Lac Fox Fishing near Senneterre, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Fox is an Abitibi-Témiscamingue water, in Quebec. The surface lies 425 metres up. Small at around 6 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list. Senneterre lies 101 km from the water. Gatineau is the closest city, 296 km away. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Fox

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Treat Lac Fox as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 16°C and January near -18°C on the long-run figures. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. After early May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice usually gives way near early May, and forms again about mid November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Plan around that when you fish Lac Fox.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Lestang at 0.3 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Lac Fox before loading the car.
