• Overview

  Lac Gordon is set in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The surroundings are pine and birch. It measures some 1.83 sq km, and wind has room to build across it.

Notre-Dame-du-Lac lies 5.7 km from the water. Témiscaming follows at 6.6 km, then North Bay at 58 km. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lac Gordon

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. 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, white sucker and brown bullhead. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Lac Gordon where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 18°C in July and bottom out at -14°C in January. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Gordon.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Lac a Simard at 2.3 km is the nearest alternative. What applies at Lac Gordon may have changed since it was mapped.
