Lac Hazelwood Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Hazelwood in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The surface lies 432 metres up. Around 93 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Size puts it in the front rank of our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list. Leblanc sits 100 km from the bank. Then Senneterre, 120 km, and Manawan, 137 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Hazelwood

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish documented in Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. On Lac Hazelwood that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -18°C. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Hazelwood.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac Francoise at 2.3 km is the nearest alternative. The position on Lac Hazelwood is worth confirming on the day.
