Lac Quint Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Quint is listed under Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The ground around here is spruce and muskeg. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The town to know is Senneterre, 96 km out. The nearest city of size is Gatineau, 249 km away. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Quint

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for Abitibi-Témiscamingue cover 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. Lac Quint responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 17°C and January about -17°C. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lac Quint runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Lac Ixode is 0.8 km off. What applies at Lac Quint may have changed since it was mapped.
