Lac Locre Fishing Guide, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  This water sits in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The country here is northern bush. At about 15 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The whole outline is near 2.2 km, and most of it is walkable. Start from Senneterre, 110 km down the road. Further out sit Val-d'Or (121 km) and Ferme-Neuve (121 km). The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Locre

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. 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. Treat Lac Locre as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 17°C in July. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Ice clears near early May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Lac Locre rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Lac Clytte at 1.7 km is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Lac Locre.
