• Where to Fish on Lac Taschereau

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue list northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Lac Taschereau the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -19°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. From about early May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. The season on Lac Taschereau rarely departs from it.
