Lac au Pekan Fishing in Mauricie, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac au Pekan is listed under Mauricie, Quebec. The ground around here is lake country bush. For supplies, Saint-Élie-de-Caxton is 44 km out. Trois-Rivières is the closest city, 77 km away. Other water within reach: Lac Head a touch under 1.1 km, 1.1 km away is Lac la Tuque, Lac Charme a touch under 1.2 km, 1.5 km away is Lac Siffleux and Lac du Rutabaga a touch under 1.7 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac au Pekan

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Mauricie: northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Lac au Pekan the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -15°C and July at about 17°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That shapes the year on Lac au Pekan.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Lac Head, 1.1 km away. Treat access at Lac au Pekan as something to verify.
