Lac Myon Fishing Guide, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Myon is an Abitibi-Témiscamingue water, Quebec side. It sits at 356 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to about 7 hectares — small enough to read in one session. The closest town, Saint-Boniface, is 112 km distant. The nearest city of size is Gatineau, 216 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Myon

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Across Abitibi-Témiscamingue, recorded fish include northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Lac Myon rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. From about early May to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. The season on Lac Myon follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. A slipway 620 m out gives trailer access. Overnight stays are possible 620 m away. Facilities run to toilets 500 m from the water. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Lac Fiel is 1 km distant. For Lac Myon in particular, ask before you travel.
