Lac Alcide Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Alcide sits in Mauricie, out in Quebec. It stands 408 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 7 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. For a base, Manawan sits 72 km out. Saint-Louis-de-Terrebonne is the closest city, 238 km away. Close by you have: Lac Trebe within 1.9 km, La Passe 2.5 km, Lac de la Chaloupe within 2.6 km, Lac Mathilde 2.8 km and Lac du Canot within 3.7 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Alcide

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Mauricie list northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Take Lac Alcide a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 17°C for July and -17°C for January. Little of the calendar is open water, so timing counts for everything. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. On average, early May opens the water and mid November closes it again. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Lac Alcide runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. 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. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Lac Trebe, 1.9 km away. Nothing on Lac Alcide should be assumed from this page alone.
