Lac Ramasse, Quebec: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lac Ramasse is one of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue waters in Quebec. It sits in spruce and muskeg country. Surface area runs to about 3 hectares — small enough to read in one session. On size it sits at the modest end of our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list. Val-d'Or is the closest town at 70 km. It is 263 km to Gatineau, the nearest city. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Ramasse

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Abitibi-Témiscamingue names northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. At Lac Ramasse the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -16°C in January. The season is measured in weeks rather than months. The lid usually goes in early May, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Lac Ramasse fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Lac Ope is 0.7 km off. None of that is settled for Lac Ramasse in what we hold.
