Lac Weenie Fishing Guide, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Weenie belongs to Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec. It sits in pine and birch. At 7 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

Not far off: Lac du Pouce at 2.4 km, Lac Dosta after 2.9 km, Lac Woodford at 3.1 km, Lac de la Noire after 3.8 km and Lac de la Tribu at 4 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lac Weenie

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Abitibi-Témiscamingue include northern pike, yellow perch and walleye. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Weenie that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -14°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Weenie.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac du Pouce sits 2.4 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Lac Weenie locally before you travel.
