• Where to Fish on Lac Nonay

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue list northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Take Lac Nonay a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Anyone fishing Lac Nonay regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Lac des Alevins, 1 km away.
