Lac Trefle Fishing near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Trefle in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. The bank is 301 metres above sea level. Around 56 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. A shoreline of some 4.5 km keeps the choices simple. On our Abitibi-Témiscamingue list it sits near the top for size. 32 km away sits Rouyn-Noranda, the nearest town. Then Saint-Isidore, 61 km, and Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues, 62 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Trefle

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Lac Trefle rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Lac Trefle rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Lac du Chevreuil, 4.6 km out.
