Lac a Deux Queues in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Lac a Deux Queues in Mauricie, Quebec. The bank is 318 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 45 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. At about 5.2 km of edge, most people work one arm at a time. Size puts it in the front rank of our Mauricie list. For supplies, La Tuque is 24 km out. Further out sit Laurentides (37 km) and Sainte-Thècle (49 km). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lac a Deux Queues

  Our records hold no depth for this water. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Mauricie, recorded fish include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The county list is broader than any single water. Read Lac a Deux Queues before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 18°C and January near -15°C on the long-run figures. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Plan any trip to Lac a Deux Queues around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Lac Francis is 2 km off. None of that is settled for Lac a Deux Queues in what we hold.
