Lac Audy in Mauricie: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  The Mauricie end of Quebec holds Lac Audy. The ground round it is rolling bush. At 8 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Ground here is low by Quebec standards. The nearest town is La Tuque, 37 km away. For a city, Saguenay is 133 km off. Nearest other option: Lac aux Brochets 0.9 km away, Lac Charles (1.2 km), Lac Aline 1.5 km away, Lac Leonce (2.1 km) and Lac Guy 3.4 km away. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Lac Audy

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Mauricie include northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Lac Audy a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 17°C on average, January about -16°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Lac Audy that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac aux Brochets is 0.9 km distant. Treat Lac Audy as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
