Lac Lancia, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

  Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, is where Lac Lancia sits. Spruce and muskeg runs right down to the water. Around 22 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. With about 4.0 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Supplies mean a trip to Senneterre, 108 km off. Val-d'Or lies 109 km off, Saint-Boniface another 123 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Lancia

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Abitibi-Témiscamingue names northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. Read Lac Lancia before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -17°C. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Lac Lancia.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. 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. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Lac Robb is 0.9 km distant. Nothing on Lac Lancia should be assumed from this page alone.
