Lac Pomeys Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Pomeys stands in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. It sits at 360 metres above sea level. It covers about 2 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list holds plenty of bigger water. You are 96 km from Val-d'Or. Senneterre follows at 101 km, then Barraute at 117 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pomeys

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye, white sucker and brown bullhead. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Lac Pomeys the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 17°C for July and -17°C for January. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Lac Pomeys fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Lac Unet, 0.7 km out. What applies at Lac Pomeys may have changed since it was mapped.
