When temperatures drop and our lakes become covered with ice, aquatic life doesn’t simply come to a standstill! In the fall, cooling water triggers natural mixing that redistributes oxygen and nutrients throughout the lake. During winter, the ice acts as an insulating blanket, helping maintain relatively stable water temperatures below the surface. However, this seemingly

A fire broke out on Island No. 7, south of Lac Gagnon, on Sunday, September 27, around 6:45 p.m. Thick white smoke was seen rising from the centre of the island on the eastern side, near the rocky headland where some people like to go jumping. There was a strong wind blowing from the east,

The environmental impact of motorized boating is largely about the physics below the surface. While all motorized craft influence lake health, the disparity between deep-water and shallow-water operation—and the technical differences between traditional outboard motors and wake boats—determines whether a lake remains a thriving ecosystem or enters a cycle of premature decay. The Depth Factor:

Hello, The start of the 2026 fishing season has finally arrived—even though the lake is still frozen! Fishing for salmonids, such as lake trout and landlocked salmon, opens today, April 23. Several other species will also open in May and June. A quick reminder: the catch limit for lake trout has been reduced to a

The RPLPN (Regroupement de Protection des Lacs de la Petite-Nation), continues to closely monitor the Lomiko Metals graphite mining project on Petite-Nation territory. A new pre-feasibility study, funded by the U.S. Department of War and the Canadian federal government, has just been released by Lomiko, and the news is very concerning: the project has nearly

Significant regulatory changes affecting pleasure craft have recently been published by Transport Canada and will be implemented progressively over the coming years. These changes, introduced by Transport Canada, aim to improve data quality and owner identification, support law enforcement and emergency response activities, and ensure a fair distribution of program costs while promoting compliance of

Hi everyone, There has been a significant change in the fishing regulations in our region that affect Lac Gagnon. The catch limit for lake trout has been reduced to one fish, down from two. In addition, new fixed opening and closing dates have been established: April 23 for the opening of lake trout fishing and

We are sharing two recent resources on mining projects in Quebec, including Lomiko Metals’ La Loutre project. We have also included an unofficial English translation of the sections most relevant to Lac Gagnon property owners.
