Lac Alexandra Fishing near La Tuque, Quebec

• Overview

  Set in Mauricie, Quebec, this is Lac Alexandra. It sits in boreal forest country. The water measures roughly 8 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. La Tuque sits 47 km from the bank. Laurentides is 52 km away, with Saint-Raymond at 83 km. Nearest other option: Lac Laurent 0.5 km, Lac l'Esperance after 1 km, Lac la Charite 1.5 km, Lac Rosaire-Grenon after 1.6 km and Lac Gerard-Lirette 1.8 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Alexandra

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Lac Alexandra gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -16°C. Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Expect Lac Alexandra to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Public data records a pier about 1.4 km out. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Lac Laurent, 0.5 km away. Nothing on Lac Alexandra should be assumed from this page alone.
