Lac Radenac Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Radenac lies in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec. It sits in boreal forest. The water measures roughly 4 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list. The closest town, Val-d'Or, is 53 km distant. It is 280 km to Gatineau, the nearest city. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Radenac

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Abitibi-Témiscamingue records list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Lac Radenac gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -16°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That shapes the year on Lac Radenac.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Lac Cancan is 1.4 km distant. Confirm access to Lac Radenac locally before you travel.
