Lac Regan Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Regan is an Abitibi-Témiscamingue water, Quebec side. The country here is rolling bush. Surface area is around 74 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Around 7.8 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. Few waters listed in Abitibi-Témiscamingue are bigger. Start from Notre-Dame-du-Lac, 83 km down the road. Further out sit Témiscaming (88 km) and Mattawa (98 km). Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Lac Regan

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue list northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Lac Regan repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -15°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Lac Regan that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. 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. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac de la Pinte, 0.9 km away. Treat access at Lac Regan as something to verify.
