Lac Neuvy, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Neuvy stands in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. This is boreal forest country. At 7 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Senneterre is the closest place, 107 km off. Then Val-d'Or, 112 km, and Saint-Boniface, 125 km. Water in the same corner: Lac Ballot just 1.4 km, Lac Breen within 1.5 km, Lac Jubarte just 1.9 km, Lac Ive within 1.9 km and Lac des Teignes just 2.3 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Lac Neuvy

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public occurrence data for Abitibi-Témiscamingue names northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Lac Neuvy repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -17°C in January and 17°C in July. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Lac Neuvy fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Lac Ballot, 1.4 km away. Treat access at Lac Neuvy as something to verify.
