Fishing Lac Nexon in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Quebec holds Lac Nexon, in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Beyond the shoreline you have taiga. It runs to roughly 15 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Shoreline comes to about 2.2 km, small enough to learn in a day. For supplies, Val-d'Or is 70 km out. Senneterre follows at 80 km, then Malartic at 92 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac Nexon

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Survey and observation records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The near bank of Lac Nexon is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. It holds true on Lac Nexon more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. 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. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lac Mandrill at 0.9 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Lac Nexon in what we hold.
