Lac Quinson Fishing Guide, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  The Abitibi-Témiscamingue entry here is Lac Quinson, in Quebec. Everything around it is mixed forest. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The nearest town is Saint-Boniface, 107 km away. Then Val-d'Or, 117 km, and Maniwaki, 119 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Quinson

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Anyone new to Lac Quinson should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 17°C in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Expect Lac Quinson to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac de la Sente is 1.2 km distant. Signs at Lac Quinson carry more weight than any list.
