Lac Annette Fishing Guide, Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Look for Lac Annette in the Mauricie part of Quebec. It sits in northern bush country. Around 13 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Shoreline comes to about 2.5 km, small enough to learn in a day. The nearest town is Leblanc, 25 km away. The big place round here is Saguenay, 222 km distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Annette

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Lac Annette the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -17°C for January. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early May. Expect the water usable from around early May until roughly mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan around that when you fish Lac Annette.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Lac Tar, 0.7 km out. Check the current arrangement for Lac Annette.
