Lac Perkins, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Perkins lies in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The country round it is boreal forest from end to end. With some 18 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The whole outline is near 2.6 km, and most of it is walkable. Leblanc sits 122 km from the bank. Senneterre lies 124 km off, Ferme-Neuve another 125 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Perkins

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Abitibi-Témiscamingue records list northern pike, yellow perch and walleye among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Lac Perkins before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 16°C and January near -18°C. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. Climate figures give an open season running early May to mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Lac Perkins rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Lac Dutra at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Lac Perkins.
